I would try to avoid milk, wheat and gluten. This might actually get rid of the cause of the problem itself. ADHD/ADD is often a symptom of an untreated ongoing allergy. Which is why it is so common in the US where the cows are pumped full of antibiotics and hormones.
Hey, it was only meant in jest. No offence intended, don't take it seriously.
Well, you're in the majority of users and have just Linux users to complain about. You know, you should look it at from the Linux's user's point of view as well.
Everyone around you is a Windows geek. They all know where to get their Windows Warez, and the passwords, they all use illegal software, and yet shout about the RIAA.
You have to troubleshoot any problems alone. The others have each other to pass warez around when something doesn't work.
They are always trying to get you to use MSN and refuse to use other clients. They bring Windows CE/XP/whatever portable gadgets to make you drool, when they know full well you don't have any Linux PDAs to show off in return. They always send you Microsoft Office documents, even though they know you're running Linux. And I can actually open them!
If you even reboot your Linux machine, they will all notice and go "AH HA!".
They are always prodding you to make a linux cluster as a proof of concept.
Then there's those that ask you "What is the Unix command for yadayadayada?". When the Linux experience is more than just about the unix shell.
No one to share the "UMPH" when you see an article about how another city is converting to Linux. There's no joy-sharing there. It feels awful to be the only one that sees it that way.
People think you're crazy if you don't run Windows, that u're a fringe lunatic.

This HOWTO is my first contribution to the linux user community, and
since I have found documentation sorely lacking for the total newbie, I
have decided to write one myself. It is based on my experience in the
past month trying to install everything from scratch. This HOWTO will be
short, brief and to the point. Further information can be found in
documentations on other websites, this one is just for the impatient,
and users who want to reduce their startup time. Why Mandrake? Firstly,
it is easy-to-install, and the first distribution that I've tried that
has come very close to the ease-of-use of windows. If you can install
and customize windows, you will not have much trouble with the Linux
installation. Who is this HOWTO written for? This document is meant for
the average user who is at least accustomed to tweaking and customizing
their own OS. It will definitely not be a tutorial on how to point and
click or use GUI interfaces.

That thing is beyond my control. It is from the URL redirection I use with cjb.net. If you are not using Internet Exploder, those cjb ads should not work on you. And since you are using IE, this web site might not be meant for you anyway. So boycott your own Windows XX before you boycott my website.
And it is not that short, this website took me months to prepare, since the release of Mandrake 9.1. There's one more thing I will add in on the miscellaneous section, probably a LaTeX guide in a bit after I explore it a bit more.
In short, this web site is by users for users, not by a developer for a user, so I hope it helps MY INTENDED AUDIENCE.
