Comments from a Linux Newbie


While I am away to China for a few weeks. My girlfriend laptop has spoilt and she will using my Linux desktop to complete her daily task, let see what is her feedback for Linux.

Here are some comments from her:

  • “How to open *.mht files?”
  • Only years ago, I first time came across this file type. It is weird that how come my girlfriend uses this file type? However, I googled it and the solution is that  she can install an extension from Firefox and open it with Firefox.

  • “Only have Skype? I want to use MSN Messenger.”
  • I have Pidgin installed on my desktop, or she can access it through web based instant messenger such as Meebo.

  • “Where is Words, Excel and the rest Office Tools?”
  • I have OpenOffice installed on my desktop, but I bet she didn’t click them yet.
