From: Terry Mills - tlm@wwnet.net Subject: Info on using Linux operation system? (Issue #442)
In answer to the question in Exchange Issue #441, WonderPaint gave a pretty darn good explanation of what is going on in windows. He suggests Linux. My question is can the current software on my machine use Linux if I were to switch to that OS and if not, how much software is available for Linux. Seems all I find is for windows and some for the mac.
Hello Terry, I'm sure John will reply too, but I have to put in my 2c's worth. The biggest difference you will experience as a Linux user is the amount of help and assistance that is available. If you join your local LUG (Linux Users Group) you may end up with a house full of helpful geeks! horrors! Linux newbies are treated with a deference never accorded to WIndows newbies. None of your M$ flavour software operates under Linux but that is really no hardship as the quantity and quality of USEFUL software is very extensive. To preview such offerings go to http://freshmeat.net/ there are many other sites that offer Linux software but this is everyones favourite starting place. Hardware can present a problem if you have Win specific items. I have a Brother PC label maker that requires Windows so I am stuck with a dual boot machine until I can sort it HTH. Tony. ______________________________________________________

MEMBER *REVIEWS* <<<<<<
Visit these sites, look for what you like and any suggestions you can offer, and send your critique to MyInput And, after reviewing three sites, your web site will be added to the list! It's fun, easy, and it's a great opportunity to give some help and receive an informative review of your own site. SITES TO REVIEW: Site #145: http://www.worldwidewebproductions.com Len Seider wORLDwIDEwEBPros@cs.com Site #146: http://www.candlecreations.com Melissa Kalmbach melscandles@msn.com Site #147: http://www.passionforperfume.com Janice Holton janice@passionforperfume.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SITE REVIEWED! Comments on Site #144: http://www.tpcenterprises.com/ info@tpcenterprises.com ~~~~ There was a lot of information there. The links were useful and worked just fine. I felt the only way to understand what was happening would be to print off information and read it ON PAPER OFFLINE. ~~~~ At first glance this is an extremely well designed site. Navigation is easy, color choices are great and no blatant errors. However after spending over 10 minutes going through the site for several pages and checking the Questions and Answers page and finally going to the order page before I could find out the cost and possibly order the " sales kit ". I find that the offer is not for anyone except US citizens - therefore eliminating and alienating over 1/2 the internet .. ( Yes the US is important but the internet is a WORLD WIDE web - about 55% are not American. IF the product is not available anywhere else except in the US at this time. State that on your opening page. You may expand your market later to involve the majority of Internet users who are Not living in the USA and might mention that. The way it reads now you have P'd off anyone that had an interest in your proposition and went to the trouble of going through your presentation only to find that they can't order it. ~~~~ Overall design plan is good in navigation and viewing, but it is lacking in pictures. Although graphics can slow a page down some, it makes the reader want to read. So add some well placed graphics and maybe some pullquotes. The title "Quality Wholesale Merchandise" could also use a different font or something. ~~~~ This is a let's get down to business website. Everything is carefully explained and simple to understand. Definitely focused and sounds like a great business to be in. The only things I could suggest is to have testimonials from current distributors and information about how long you have been in business. ~~~~ Great colour and layout consistent throughout the whole site, with easy to follow text. My only query was that International involvement was not addressed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________ moderator: Amy Mossel: Moderator@AEOpublishing.com posting: MyInput@AEOpublishing.com ______________________________________________________ Send posts and questions (or your answers) to: mailto:MyInput@AEOpublishing.com Please send suggestions and comments to: mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com To change your subscribed address, send both new and old address to mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com See below for unsubscribe instructions.
