Hi!
I am currently trying to show Debian to my wife. It works slowly by
slowly. But I really can't imagine she is going to read 10 mail lists.
This is a problem, because I got most of my experince browsing
Internet and asking on mail lists. I am afraid I will have a problem
to explain her, that this is the best way. She reads the book, but
IMHO she will have to ask people when she does not understand
something more complicated. Maybe this is something specific to males?
