     @psquid Besides which, I'm interested in options for newbies - to make !Linux an attractive option for !ICT4D & general public.

     @chriswaterguy True, true. That'd be my viewpoint (CS student)'s bias creeping in. ;p

     @psquid np - among Linux users on Identica, it's not such a strange assumption :-). I've written one C program. In 1991. With difficulty.

     @jankusanagi Ah, ok... so if someone is using Openbox or LXDE, they'll probably still need the !KDE specific icon set to install a KDE app.

   • Ryan Rix Appropedia.org

     @appropedia no, they can use any icon set which conforms to the standards gnome and kde created.

   • JanKusanagi Appropedia.org

     @appropedia what I meant is you can use Gnome, for instance, with the Oxygen iconset

   Looking for a GUI downloader for !Debian. #uget has no speed limiter, #MultiGet is buggy. Any other options?

     @chriswaterguy Day 3 of Arch Linux and I'm loving it.

   • Chris Watkins Information and Communication Technology for Development , encyclomundi

     @encyclomundi Cool. I like !Arch's philosophy of transparency. I want usability (for !ICT4D) but would love transparency AND usability.

     @appropedia i feel !fedora is the easiest to maintain system as far as i know. And most updated than canonical marketing product.
