Automatix Kicks Ubuntu into Gear ?

By Martin English | March 19, 2006

With the growing amount of talk on the usability of Linux for beginners, there have been quite a few people who have mentioned a script called “Automatix” for Ubuntu as a means of easing the average joe into a life of Linux. Linux.com’s (a Slashdot sister site) Tina Gasperson takes a closer look at Automatix and how it could help soften the blow of a Linux switch, at least in the short term. From the article: “Automatix lives up to its reputation. It’s worth any time and small frustration it might take to get through the script. And it’s even worth that ‘over-the-shoulder’ time you might spend with a new Linux user to walk them through it. I don’t see any reason why a beginner would not be delighted with Ubuntu after a magic touch from Automatix.”
