Hi Shiv Kumaar, It would be really interesting to hear about your experience with GNU/Linux and other Open Source Software, especially since you are a first-time, non-technical user. Did you feel lost when using your computer? Were you able to navigate around the desktop with ease and get your work done without too much hassle? Did you have to ask for help often? What were the tasks that you wanted to do with your computer? I just want to know how much easier it has become over the years for a total newbie to accept a GNU/Linux desktop, as opposed to the familiar Microsoft one. -Parul Mathur

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Why do Viruses not infect GNU/Linux PCs?
by Amish Mehta 31 Jan '04

Because GNU/Linux systems are not written by MS guys who simply execute any file just because it pretended its content-type to be an audio file. In my opinion MS always had policy to make system more user-friendly(trying to auto-play a sound file for user) at cost of security(and executing exe instead). This bug and so many other bugs are so obvious(assuming MS has good developers!) that sometimes I feel they are kept on purpose, so that they can ask user to upgrade to their new OS/apps claiming to be MORE safe.

Try out Mandrake Linux. It installs easily....and very easy on the user. --- "Shiv Kumaar,91-22-28906693, 9820320927 (mobile)" <journoshiv(a)yahoo.co.in> wrote: it was not difficult to adjust to linux. since i figured out early that the term browser cut across OSes :) :) then it was easy going.... also open office was similar to MS Office. the interface of debian knoppix (that's what it said when the computer booted) was quite friendly. very intuitive. but a free distro by partecs www.partecs.com was troublesome. the live CD booted nicely, but there was no way i could connect to the net using the live cd. clicked on Internet>PPPsomething which detected the ethernet card but didn't connect to the net. i got the msg:pppdaemon died unexpectedly. the free distro also had a troublesome feature: "Help" caters to developers.
