I am new to Linux. I have only been using Knoppix for about 2 weeks on my Win XP Pro box. I am very seriously thinking about dumping XP and doing a hard disk install of knoppix.
Alas, there is but one thing holding me back: the multiple user GUI on XP.
My wife and I use the same computer and have come to enjoy the multi-user GUI in XP. I know that Linux is a multi-user OS and has been since for ever and ever, amen. But do you know of a GUI to simplify the process?
I will be frank, I consider myself very adept at dealing with technology and this user switching is giving ME a headache. This just won't fly with my wife. It needs to be simple. Not that she is simple, she just doesn't care enough about the tech side to learn something else new (sound like the average user to anyone else but me?).
I don't expect that there is something built into Knoppix, but perhaps there is a project out there that is trying take on my problem already.
Please help with any information.
Thank you in advance.
