“For the install I accept all the default options. The
7 step install process is so easy it’s almost embarrassing!

“And yes, I can still remember those early days (way back in
1997) when I used to like Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva) purely
because the install process was the easiest! And everything else
was pretty horrible to install!

“As you can see from the screenshot of my current installation,
I like to keep the desktop as clear as possible with only links to
drives and connections to servers on it. All apps (or all the ones
I use on a day to day basic) have icons on the taskbar. I use three
workplaces (since I’ve started to use Workplaces my productivity
has skyrocketed.) The taskbar might look a bit messy but, if I
tidied it up – I’d never find anything! And, you know, I
think I’ve been using that last phrase as an excuse since I was
about six years old!”
