Linux GUI FAQ/tutorial?

[Jude DaShiell]

I recommend vinux-gui as either a stand-alone system used to bypass the 
hard drive for whenever anyone is doing online credit card transactions 
or online banking since when the computer turns off all the sensitive 
data goes away guarranteed.  Also vinux-gui should install easily 
provided a would-be installer remembers  to run the ubiquity utility to 
do so.  Since orca will already be working when the user gets vinux-gui 
running, it will be installed so that a user's orca settings are 
preserved and also installed to the hard drive.  Hitting alt-f2 and 
keying in ubiquity as root user and hitting enter should start the show.
  Very few questions in that program too.On Tue, 19 Jan 2010, Octavian
