User Friendly?
I got my advisor's old laptop for temporary use today. It's old, running on what seems to be a Celeron 1.4MHz, and it was running a bit slow with Windows XP. So we installed Kubuntu on it instead.
That was probably a mistake, because I don't know how to use Kubuntu. As a result it took me well over an hour this evening to even put the pieces in place so I can test the wireless setup tomorrow. I know something about computers, but unfortunately I still found the advice fragmentary and often difficult to follow, and that it required a Google search. It seems that user-friendly Linux still has a way to go.
Next time I'm going to just install CentOS.
