I would also like to comment that majority of people who have troubles with Linux are new at, well duh right?. I think their problem arises from people NOT taking the time to READ instructions. Just about every Linux installation comes with man(ual) pages for applications, and just about every source tar ball comes with a README and/or INSTALL file which outlines how to do things. And the problem arises when people who thought they knew everything about everything related to computers try to zip through everything like they did in Wndows. You have to take the time to learn someone new, something different. You have to in effect become a newbie again, and a lot of people don't want to do that because they think people might think less of them?? :shrug:
