Wait a minute...you complain that YOU don't know how to install programs and resolve dependencies in Linux, then when you're told how to do it, you bitch that it's too hard for Granny?

Granny was the point of the original conversation. Linux is plagued by poor packaging and dependency management. None of that changes by requiring granny to do an Apt-get in a console prompt.

Wow. You are a dense one, but I guess a lot of good people tried to warn me of that. Is the ADHD acting up today?

I specifically said that if you choose a distro that has Apt and Synaptic out of the box, you need never touch a console to install software.

Let me know if you don't understand this. Maybe I can post an audio file of that sentence or something. Or draw you a diagram.

You can't be in IT with a comprehension level like this...

Are you purposely this daft, for apt and gyum you dont need a console.. Every major distro comes with a little icon you click to bring up gyum (graphical YUM) or a graphical APT.. You have been told this before..
