Story: Debian Sarge focuses on easy installation
Posted by: Esmerelda Effnitch (Saturday 20 November 2004, 11:56 PM)
I'm a newbie; I never have installed Linux before. I have NO command line knowledge, and I was able to download the latest Sarge daily, (about 105 Mb), boot with it, then do a network-driven installation of Sarge, including a single Logical Volume partition, even though I'm behind a firewall, was being DHCP served, and didn't know anything about the network I'm on. The new Sarge installer is a delight. If I can now figure out how to always keep my software upgraded, without using the command line, then I will have to say that Linux is as easy to use as Windows. Will there be, or is there, a mechanism for keeping programs current that does this as easily as .exe for updates does?
