Switching My Dad to Linux - Part One
,----[ Quote ]
| The Wi-Fi software switch was so damned annoying that it was actually one of
| the biggest factors in the decision to ditch Vista on this particular
| machine. Under Ubuntu I was able to get Wi-Fi working automatically on each
| boot, with no user intervention necessary, as I'll explain in Part Two of
| this series.

Elderly Ubuntu User Says Books Far Better than Forums
,----[ Quote ]
| I read Mr. Sobell’s instructions for doing that (read them at least 8 or 9
| times!), took a deep breath, and went at it. WOW! In a lot less time than the
| other attempts had taken, I had a solid Ubuntu 8.10 desktop up and running
| with two primary partitions (/ and /home) and a great big extended partition
| where swap and /usr now live and there’s room for lots more company.
|
| My point is this: a book is a more reliable source of answers than a forum or
| a Help icon – a book doesn’t go black unexpectedly, it doesn’t time-out a
| session, it doesn’t flame you as a clueless newbie when you ask a dumb
| question, and above all, the best of them give you a ”why” to do something as
| well as a “what”. An old gaffer like me wouldn’t stand a chance of gaining
| any geek creds without BOOKS!

| alleviate some of this burden. They are looking to create a new opportunity
