Easy enough from my Grandma!
by Gary Silverman on Friday 16/Sep/2005, @04:48

1 yr. ago I taught my 71 aged Grandma how to use Kanotix + email/KMail + webbrowsing/Konqueror. She really enjoyed it.

3 months ago she phoned my and complained: Why hadn't I told her about that easy one-click installation method of new software?!

I didnt get what she wanted to explain to me. She got angry and hang up, when I told her this was impossible...

Last month we went to visit her. She showed me how to do it. You can imagine that my jaws dropped 10+ inches. I must have displayed the most stupid face I ever made in my life.

So, yes -- klik rulez! And it was introduced to my not by this nice article, but by my beloved Grandma...

excellent points

In fact, the aoutopackage folks, for this very reason of package consistency and maintainability, only recommend autopackage for certain, almost self contained packages (think firefox, open-office, games)

cheers!
