I have many customer that want to do something with their old XP system, But the are not Geeks.
Is there any Distro that can install from DVD and do the follow with out getting to a terminal prompt?
1. See/install wireless network adapter, connect to a wireless network.
2. Browse the network, see XP and windows 7 systems, then connect/map to Shared folders for XP and 7.
3. Browse the network and install a XP, windows 7, Network printer, if a Linux drivers is available.
For My customer if they have to get the terminal prompt, that it is a failure, and (in their words) not a real operating system if it can't do these 3 items “out of the box”. They get off the shelf windows systems and expect the same from anything that I suggest, that it just works for basic stuff like above.
I have tried on a Test Laptop, Desktop, Vitrualbox the following Distro's with no luck :
Zorion-os 8, Mint 16, Ubuntu 12, Peppberment, Kubunt, PCLinuxOS, Fedora, Lubuntu 13, LuninuXOS 13.
Any suggestions would be great.
