Okay, so you are a Linux consultant or use it for work, fine. But for the common computer user, it is a total fail. That is, unless they have deep pockets or a personal relationship with you.

Uh--no.

That is the point of this post. Thee are *plenty* of places to go for help--most of them totally free.

If you honestly don't care what goes on inside your computer, fine. Don't read the post, and move on.

However, for those interested in how their hardware works and functions, how the software interacts with that hardware, and how to maintain, troubleshoot, and protect your investment, this is a useful post.

Why do you make a statement like that when you obviously have no clue what you're talking about?

Linux is simple enough for my retired mother-in-law to not only use as her base system, but she installed it from scratch. All I did was provide the bootable DVD.

Huh? I’ve been using a ‘total failure’ without issues for years now?
