I think this is less of a pro-Linux issue and more of a
use-the-right-tool-for-the-job issue, which sure as hell ain't Windows
if you want to put stuff on the web.
Whatever.
But, that said, you did a great job on your site,
and I like it a
lot. Your choice of layout is interesting and easy to use, and I
especially like the method of flipping through the photos.
OK, this was the kind of feedback that I was hoping for. That, or comments
on the computers themselves -even mistakes that I might have made in my
discriptions are welcome.
I like the way the photos flip as you click on each thumb also, and if you
click on the main image, as you flip through each thumb, the pic expands to
640x480 for a bigger and more clear image.
It even has a graphic data entry system, rather than having to hand edit the
script files/databases, etc. -to make entering new information easier. There
is a menu that
comes up with choices for adding new photos, thumbs, computers, catagories,
etc.
and it's all graphical. It's very easy to use now -not so easy to set up.
Originally, I wanted to have a way for the public to add entries and photos
of their own
computers from home but that turned out to be more difficult than I first
thought -not to
mention that there would always be some loser who would spoil it for
everyone by adding photos
of penises or death, or some crap like that. So, I just use the graphic data
entry for myself.
