Haha! Perfect!

All GUI driven, mouse click installs. Works just like Synaptic for APT. Thanks for this.

That having been said, I still sometimes use the command line, because it's very fast if you already know what you want. Plus, I'm not a sissy little chicken like Brass Buzzy.

Of course, N3WB, nothing in that flash movie actually happened, because everyone knows Linux installs are impossibly hard. Are you going to believe your own eyes, or GE, who doesn't even use Linux? ;)

All kidding aside, it will still be too hard for GE. Just watch.

best little tool I have found for documentation is vnc2swf (runs under python in windows/linux or C in linux). really nice wrapper for vnc which allows output like this.

You are right about the command line its much quicker to type:

yum install gnome-applets

but as I think he was trying to call me a lier I thought I would just do the install graphically. I could also put one up installing from a website directly by clicking on a link but I think I will wait until he tells me it cant be done.

One of my problems with GE is he speaks out of his own ignorance. He decides not to use Linux (fine by me its his choice) but then speaks as some sort of authority on what can and cant be easily done.

BTW the gyum config it out of the box fedora core4, no configuration though usually I do like to hook up to dags rpm repository as it has a far more robust software selection.
