PC UNIX gui seamless install
Hello my fellow UNIX friends.
I am a retired UNIX programmer. I worked at IBM on the UNIX/AIX code.
My particular area was in the PC networking server and client code.
I analyzed and wrote code fixes for bugs that could not be fixed
short of manipulating, ie checking out the AIX OS code and coding changes.
My question:
Does anyone know of any projects dedicated to writing a seamless graphical user interface
to install Ubuntu on PC based architecture.
Yes this may sound like a huge project and it is. However I want to pursue this.
My reason, trying not to offend anyone, is to present PC UNIX to the every day PC users
as a preferable OS. I want Grandpa's like me and non technical people to enjoy a secure,
reliable and easy to use environment for their everyday computing needs.
Being as politically correct as I can be...... I wish to free the global PC end users from
OS systems that crash, are easy to hack and cost us more time in workarounds than
need be. In other words.... I want PC UNIX to be the number one OS for all PC end users.
Recap, Does anyone know of any current project to develop a seamless GUI install and config
interface.
Thank you for your time and considerations,
Dallan

NAME
subscription-manager-gui - Launches the UI client of the Subscription Manager.
SYNOPSIS
subscription-manager-gui [--register]
DESCRIPTION
subscription-manager-gui opens the local client tool to manage subscriptions and installed products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
The same tasks that can be performed by invoking subscription-manager can be performed in the GUI, including registering systems with a
subscription management service, applying and removing subscriptions, and viewing the subscription status of installed products.
The Subscription Manager UI can also be opened by selecting the Red Hat Subscription Manager item from the Applications > System Tools menu
in RHEL 5.x or the System > Administration menu in RHEL 6.x.
OPTIONS
--register
If a system has not yet been registered, then the GUI registration page can be opened immediately, as the Subscription Manager GUI
comes up. This is only relevant for unregistered systems; if this is used after a system is registered, the option is ignored.
REFERENCES
For procedures and tasks that can be performed in the Subscription Manager UI, check the Gnome help files (by pressing <F1>) or refer to
the RHEL Subscription Management Guide at <https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Sub-
scription_Management_Guide/index.html>.
