I have nothing against Linux on the server or in corporate settings, it is just that Linux is always explained in that light by folks skilled in the art of system administration or programming. <br /><br />There is a stigma attached to being a Linux newbie. And some still can't believe Linux was meant for a single computer for personal use.<br /><br />I can appreciate all the work behind the icon, don't expect or require me to comprehend it all, I just click the icon. My life is in the applications.<br /><br />I have seen Linux for Dummies, it is just a brief version of a Linux bible. The handiest books are the Point n Click series by Robin "Roblimo" Miller.rnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654341084026249099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28233294.post-62477477251841468922009-07-19T02:28:32.942-04:002009-07-19T02:28:32.942-04:00Arnold, great blog, we think alike.

I have been a Linux user now since Dapper Drake (2006) and the hardest thing to find is the howto's for any software that has not got a Windows version. I also would happily pay for a "Dummy's" guide too.<br />I have seen the Full circle mag and PCLinuxOS do one too (which is also a good read)and have to say a mag written by the people for the people does have a certain appeal.<br />Adding you to my blog list, I like your thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28233294.post-18095551614467324712009-07-18T19:40:36.175-04:002009-07-18T19:40:36.175-04:00Just curious about what distribution of Linux you ...Just curious about what distribution of Linux you are using.<br /><br />It's true that Linux distributions have gotten more user friendly. <br /><br />But still there are a lot left to be desired.<br /><br />But it still beats using Windows.<br /><br />In Windows you're like a fire fighter locked in constant battle against viruses and malwares.kubuntu101http://kubuntu101.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
