I find this conversation very interesting. I, personally, just changed
the runlevel at system start to level 3. And i don't really see how
hiding what's REALLY going on is going to help the computer illiterate
people more. I'd say the more a computer does things on it's own and
hides what it's doing the more problems you run into. Example: Windows.
Computer illiterate people who want to use linux should learn how.
Computer illiterate people who want to use Windows should also
learn how. Just because Windows is "easier" to use doesn't make them
less computer illiterate.
I don't see too many people saying "I want to use a car, but i don't
want to learn how, i just want to get in and I want the car to know
where i want to go and how to get me there without me doing anything but
sitting and watching all the pretty colors."
Anyway, just change the runlevel and login and type 'startx'.
That is pretty much me exactly! As I said in a previous post, I have
been running Suse about a year, plus have loaded several other distro's
just to play with a few days here and there. I just like to be able
to see the details of what is going on when I do have to reboot or
turn the computer on. This is all still a learning experience for
me.
