| In times past even the Linux Newbie for the most part was fairly computer

| users period in some cases Linux is the first operating system they have ever
| seen. Don’t be so fast to critique, this is a unique opportunity for Linux to
| make up some badly needed ground. Seek out those new users, become the guides
| they will need to help us make Linux a more viable and popular Operating
| System we all want it to be.

| have got a run here).
