how could application installations/configurations be easier in linux?
- by ajsie
although you can do anything in linux it tends to require a lot of tweaking in config files and reading a lot of manuals/tutorials before you can have it running in your way.
i know that it gets a lot easier by time, and the apt-get installations with ubuntu/debian is heading the right way.
but how can linux be more userfriendly for us in the future?
i thought that if more is automated like an IDE environment, eg. typing svn will give us all the commands and description about each command when you move between commands with your keyboard. that would be great.
but that's just one example. another is the navigation in the terminal between folders. now you have to type a lot just to jump from/to different folders. would be great with some more automatization here too.
i know that these extra features will slow down the server, but its 2010 now, and these features are not that heavy for the cpu, but makes it more userfriendly and encourage maintainance of a server, not frighten u off.
what do you think about this? should/could we have more user friendly linux environment in servers, something that has annoyed you a lot?
a lot of things are done in the unix way, but maybe we should reinvent the wheel in some areas, cause apparently, its so...repeatingly today and difficult to do easy tasks. it should be easier i think..
