Dunno about the users here though!
I'm not unusual and I predate DOS, let alone Windows! I still have very fond
memories of Pr1mos (a Multics derivative).

Has anybody installed and actually gotten Trinity Desktop to go?
I have spent a month trying with Ubuntu 12.04 (mostly) and Fedora 17, both with
January 2013 CD iso.
The Ubuntu, unless you tell it you are in the US, defaults to Polish, the other
options are Russian, Spanish, Italian and French. There is a problem with
keyboard setting as warning comes up that the software is not compatible. You
end up with no cursor movement keys, The usual prompt is missing at the CLI. It
also keeps loosing the option to suspend and/or hibernate. Power on - power
off, how 1980's.
Fedora has no way of using a graphical interface to install software from their
repositories. Why don't Trinity put them in the distro CD? 'yum' CLI only
reminds me of trying to install Debian in the 1990's
Neither version has any way of installing more users or groups, Apart from the
command line, so primitive I could not remember from twenty years ago. Trying
to use Synaptic with Fedora it tells me there two broken packages (straight off
the CD?) 'setup' & 'filesystem' which probably accounts for why you cannot
add users/groups from the normal 'settings' menu.
Unfortunately the machine has only a CD so those distros that insist on DVD
install are not usable. Very few these days give install from network version
so you download a CD or DVD iso, install and then download just as much again in
updates as soon as you install it.
