Thread: custom user-profiling upon HD-Install?

  1. #1

    custom user-profiling upon HD-Install?

    because different users have different basic needs, which can all be rendered into the way the desktop is organized, it's shortcuts, toolbars, and so on, i thought that i may be quite easy to do such a trick:

    why not asking upon installing knx to hard disk (along with a "what is your name?" question that would allow the renaming of the default knoppix user to a more friendly custom-named one!) something like:

    "what kind of user are you?

    [ ] novice user (everything must be there and flashy)
    [ ] family-father user (office/internet/multimedia)
    [ ] developper ( bare interface with lots of tools directly on the desktop?)
    [ ] network guy (bare interface with lots of network and internet tools?)
    "

    default profiles with different themes and desktops and even why not windowmanagers could make this interesting, don't you think?

    I think that is a good idea also ...
