The definition of the word << problem >> is worth a debate, not my difference of opinion with L or T. Many times the word < problem > stands for : Lack of experience of .......something. Many times the word problem gets used by people who want to be spoon-fed ( this is not distro related ) Regardless, I personal look at most problems as a challenge ! But I also agree with " wanting a comfortable computer experience " etc etc. That's why I update PCLinuxOS for my wife's daily use no more than once a year. Have a nice day ------------------------------------------------- That's true, this is not a debate. It's people describing their experiences with operating systems. I've tried several builds and found some were easier to use than others. Right now I'm having both minor and major issues with my current OS, so rather than spending hours trying to make it work I'm trying a different one that so far has some features I want. Like older versions of apps and KDE3.
