[CLUE-Tech] Re:"What other issues did you run into"

[Joe Linux]

Well I gave up on it because it wouldn't allow a user to launch "kppp" 
and I couldn't figure out how to fix that.  Then in trying to fix the 
"kppp" issue, I always managed to have kppp lock up KDE3.  And I 
couldn't straighten that out even if it was a simple reversal of just 
one thing I changed previously.  The long and short of it is I need a 
system my wife can use and I'm not about to give her the "root" password 
to just connect to the Internet.  I'm sure there is a solution, but I 
didn't know it, and it certainly wasn't obvious.  Finally I have my 
button menu system for ICEwm which I will be talking about at the next 
KISS session, so if I were to use RedHat, I would have to figure out if 
ICE will run well on it with my button system.  There would be some 
benefit to the group in me doing that, but after wasting so much time on 
the Mandrake alleged "standard security."  I'm just not up for 
additional problems.  At this point in time I would have to rate 
Mandrake 8.2 as being much better for that average user than RedHat 7.3; 
although there are some very nice things in RedHat 7.3 that I would like 
to see implemented in every distribution.  Specifically I like the way 
they have some check lists that you simply fill in with a check box GUI, 
like the way they add groups to a user.  However if you are using an 
older version of RedHat it might not be the same anyway.
