"Customers" is not the correct term to apply to the people I work with. Although they pay some of my business expenses, I dont make anything like a "profit". Mostly they are people that cant afford anyone else. The reason I gave up a 35k a year job as a windows programmer was because I wanted to do something that actually made a difference (and to escape the stress and frustration lol)
isn't that ecomoney's job? can't he satisfy his own customers? don't the puppy developers have enough on their plate already?
My customers/friends that I have introduced to puppy - practically across the board - always point to the same areas....installing, adding popular software easily, win98 look etc
Ive listed them on the
Puppy Missions thread
1. Extremely difficult to install without in depth linux knowledge (here)
2. Lack of the most popular applications available through the installer (FF, OO, aMSN,Skype)
3. Looks "old", Grey Win98 look/console loading/Xorg config is unattractive to new users.
4. Pup_save.2fs fills up, without resizing automatically.
5. Java does not install automatically to support things like facebook chat/ebay.
6. The internet connection wizard is unintuitive, and does not open automatically when needed (i.e. opening Seamonkey with no active Connection)
7. Single click on the desktop creates unfamiliar first impression.
8. Mousewheel over desktop make application "appear" to crash (here).
9. Mime Types are incomplete + unhelpful errors if filetypes are not supported.
10. Lacks Internet connection sharing feature
These things wouldn't be hard to fix...I could probably even fix them myself for me and my "customers/peers", but that wouldn't make any real difference unless they were included in mainstream puppy.
Meanwhile, back on topic....
Bad Habbits[sic] Windows Users bring to Linux (not just Puppy)
Windows users bring bad habits to mainstream Linux...to Puppy Linux, they bring challenges
