Quote | I think what you guys are really asking for is to be able to easily make exactly what you want. If DSL would put a pen drive icon on the desktop which had critical programs such as hardware detection, drivers, and networking in a minimal "system" folder and a "programs" folder that holds independent programs which can be added or removed at the whim of the user. |
Mhhh, great input on a subject that may become crucially important.
There is a trend towards a distributed computing paradigm where comps have no hard disks and users carry usb sticks in their shirt pocket. The advantages: security, flexibility, mobility.
In my opinion DSL is ideally positioned to take the lead in this process, but it may need to increase its awareness of customer, er ... sorry, user needs.
By the way, I think that DSL may have a strong commercial appeal if pitched properly. Maybe a double-track "do-it-yourself-for-free" and "we-take-care-of-you-for-some-bucks" DSL offer could benefit all the members of this community.
Just a suggestion.
