<h1><a class="header" href="#target-audience" id="target-audience">Target Audience</a></h1>
|
|
<p>My first computer was a Tandy TRS-80 handed down from an uncle. The interface
|
|
consisted of a blinking cursor on a monochrome screen, and it had no storage
|
|
beyond RAM and ROM. Whatever you could type into memory before shutting it off
|
|
and run with the included Basic interpretor was the extent of the software that
|
|
ran on that computer. As limited as it was, it was fascinating to me.</p>
|
|
<p>In this day and age an interface consisting of a blinking cursor without wallaper,
|
|
icons, notifications and voice input is bewildering to the average human.
|
|
Nevertheless, that is the interface that a fresh installation of HItchHiker will
|
|
always present to the user. Therefore, it can be reasoned that the target audience
|
|
will consist of individuals who either are comfortable with using a command line
|
|
interface or are eager to learn. Some proficiency using Linux or Unix is helpful,
|
|
but not 100% necessary given an ability and willingness to read the documentation
|
|
and get used to being "close to the machine".</p>
|
|
<p>Indeed, HitchHiker will not do any kind of hand holding while you are installing
|
|
and using your new system. You will be expected to learn the hows and whys of
|
|
what makes a computer work. Most operating systems, including the majority of
|
|
Linux distributions, will gladly install, configure, and run 100s of programs
|
|
without your ever being aware that they are doing it. By the time you have
|
|
achived proficiency with HitchHiker, you will know what every running process is
|
|
for and why it is needed.</p>
