In fact, they're very helpful--how else is a new user (like myself) supposed to learn not to fear the command line?<BR/><BR/>Of course, I know there are some folks out there who would prefer non-technical newbies like me to stay out of their Linux club, but... isn't that kind of against the openness of open source? :)koikurihttp://koikuri.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-28557025952789508732008-09-30T09:44:00.000+08:002008-09-30T09:44:00.000+08:00Liberation Sans is the best for the system fontBobCFChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15244693817559226798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-32609197229711669462008-09-29T21:17:00.000+08:002008-09-29T21:17:00.000+08:00You could even make it easier by providing apt:packagename links.

THAT to me is exclusionary, which goes against the openeness of open source :) Whenever I write an article about stuff like this, I use a generic title and let the reader know that I'll be doing this for distro-x (whatever I might be running at the time) and that it will vary on their systems.<BR/><BR/>To me, this is the professional way of doing things. Ohters, I guess not. Then again, I'm not all about the traffic...I've just been blogging for a long time and enjoy helping people out.devnethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07644844759013285692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-26057812060418859812008-09-28T01:51:00.000+08:002008-09-28T01:51:00.000+08:00@Vadim: Thanks for dropping by and for the suggestion.
