Once upon a time I started out with SuSE v6, 7 and 8, and I was quite happy with it, but then they sold out to Novell (which i don't trust).
At the same time I tried RH8 and 9 and eventually Fedora Core 1, which impressed me quite a lot, but.. alas, I couldn't run on our new Dell Dimension 8300 PC's with SATA-disk, ATI Radeon cards and so on.
So - a friend of mine pointed out, that Mandrake 9.2 could do the trick - running the above mentioned machines - and at the same time, I was impressed with Mandrake's easy way of installing.
I was fooled by the community version of Mandrake 10, which - IMHO - contains a lot of errors and cannot run scanners, digital cameras and a lot of other things, that v9.2 could.
So.. I'll give Fedora Core 2 another chance, since the first version was fine, but not up to the new cards and disks..
Right now I'm waiting for Bittorrent to give med access to the new wonder-distribution!
.. be very careful to impose anything on libraries
The Library staff decides for themselves what is quality and what is not. That's the general rule - otherwise the fine library would be loaded with everything.
Not that Open Source Software is of no quality - I have recently discovered how high it actally is.
But.. again there are people out there, who value quality on price - so there you have one catch.
As to the distribution - I would recommend that you ask the libraries, if their PC's could not be fitted with OOS - together with the normal software, that money can buy.
One good example is graphical programs, that normally doesn't exist on public library PCs - and if they do, there are just too many of them. So why not advice the librarians to install The Gimp, which is one of the best?
Just a thought early in the morning
I never receive any un-wanted mail be it advertisements or something else from Danish people.
But guess what:
I get a lot of un-wanted mail with origin from the US, and so far - there is nothing to do about it, since spamming is allowed over there.
So please get your own laws in order with respect to spam, and we will have moved a little further towards a co-operative world.
