Tech writers think Ubuntu is for morons
,----[ Quote ]
| What is it about Ubuntu Linux that makes otherwise competent technical
| writers switch to Moron Mode? Everywhere I turn, I see articles on how to do
| obvious things in Ubuntu. Books on Ubuntu concentrate on listing every
| insignificant detail of every obvious procedure; things that are inherently
| self-explanatory are explained in depth. Subjects that have any inkling of
| technical complexity are skipped because, "Whoa -- those are way too hard for
| you stupid Ubuntu users to grasp, so let's just skip them and pretend
| everything's peachy."

| Considering these two points, I’d say PCLinuxOS hasn’t been ‘hiding’ the fact
| that it is Mandriva based. I’d say they’re doing quite well with where they
| have this information.
