Linux Desktop Guide
codergeek42 writes "The International Open-Source Network has created a desktop manual aimed at end-users with little or no prior knowledge of PCs. This manual goes through using The Fedora Project to do things from file-management to using the internet (as in browsing the WWW and using email), how to use the OpenOffice.org office suite, and even a basic intro to using the shell. This is definitely a step in the right direction for GNU/Linux, and the Free Software and Open-Source Software movements. And the cool part is that the entire thing is under an attributions-required OSI-approved Creative Common license, and is available in .sxw (OpenOffice.org Writer) or PDF formats."
>Nice troll
This is exactly what holds back Linux. Arrogant elitism.
He complains about a Linux distribution failing, you accuse him of being a troll. You belittle one of his problems by calling him "newbie". And then you finish it off by saying that he is not worthy of your time.
Why would I suggest to anyone I know to use Fedora when they would get this sort of response to their problems?
The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.
