The latest build of Kubuntu is really nice, user friendly, etc...

When I can install a program by clicking on it, we'll call it user friendly.

Nope. Refuse to believe it. Those damn penguins are behind this.

Yeah, but try compiling something that's not in the repository. I tried that Perl and ImageMagick and I would've rather have had my dick pulled out by a Dodge pickup on I-80 while riding a Burro naked.....
Oh wait... that was on Windows trying to install Strawberry and ImageMagick. I had zero problems installing Perl and ImageMagick on Ubuntu. Nevermind.

Is 'Dodge Pickup' an American term for a woman? :dunno
Seriously though... following this thread makes me wonder what awful Linux distros of yesteryear some of these poor people have been using? My wife runs Ubuntu on a netbook. She wouldn't even know how to find a terminal let alone install an application from it. She's been a linux convert for years after discovering the misery of Vista and the never ending "click. Do you want to do that? Click. Are you sure? Click. Enter a password. Click. Are you sure? Click" followed by "Installing update 1 of 20 billion. Do not turn off your computer"
Linux has been 'click to install' for sooooo long I think you would be amazed. What are you after?
Mame > click to install
A front end like Wah!cade or GMAMEUI > click to install
DVD ripping, DVD burning, MP3 software, Office software, graphics software (including vector editors) > click to install
Future Pinball > click to install
The list goes on and on, and its all for FREE!
And think of all those precious CPU cycles Windows wastes that could be given over to Mortal Kombat wasted on VIRUS SOFTWARE!!! :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

OK, I tried to install VLC on my wifes EEEPc. It was kinda painful. Editing text files, updating repositories, and I -still- have to open a terminal to run it, because Asus decided 'easy' mode means 'you can't change jack' mode.
Oh, and getting firefox to open files in VLC instead of whatever media player it came with that won't play AVI files? Still painful.
What am I doing wrong? I've obviously pissed off the wrong penguin.
