My Computer", Isn't "The Computer", Anymore!
Early on, in my trek into GNU/Linux, protecting non-technical users from the Linux file system tree, and simplifying their ability to find and access their network, disks, drives, and documents was of primary concern. So too, was increasing their perception of knowing where they are at all times. A simplified method of achieving these goals on all Linux based systems is suggested in this article.
The accompanying KDE3.5 alpha screen shots -- made using a Kanotix Live CD -- should help in clarifying this method. Also, some other minor usability enhancement suggestions are presented. My intentions are that by focusing one by one on individual, specific, GNU/Linux desktop usability issues, and offering some kind of solution to them, that some useful debate and fixes will follow.
