My brother-in-law is a corporate IT QA tester. He is a big Linux fan and runs it on his home PC. Whenever we visit them he & I will be talking various subjects and I’ll say, “go to this website” or “have you tried this?” Inevitably, he will reply, “oh, I’m having trouble with this driver” or some such excuse.

Based on this story, he either doesn't want to do what you want to do, doesn't spend much time on the computer at home or is incompetent. I have no formal training or coding ability, and can do everything I want to do using Linux. Spent last night doing DVD authoring using DeVeDe. Dude's probably sick of computer crap and just wants to drink a beer with you.

I have one of these that I like to wear:

My wife won't let me wear it to family functions. Sadly, family members are some of my best repeat "customers".

I'm gonna get one of these and I WILL wear it to family functions to fry their small brains;
