Re: Why
Brigette:
Before you give up, buy the Debian GNU/Linux Administrator's Guide,
published by O'Reilly and Associates. I haven't read this book in particular,
but the O'Reilly books are hands-down the most thorough, clearly written,
and helpful books I have ever seen for Unix computing topics. And no, I am
not affiliated in any way with O'Reilly and Associates ;). Sit down in the
bookstore for a half-hour with the book, and if things don't seem clearer
to you after that... I was going to say "give up on Linux," but I would never
counsel somebody to do that. Instead, try the installation again, and use
this list as a resource to answer specific problems you're having.
Hang in there, it's worth it.

Why is it so hard to get anywhere with Linux?
In plain English...how do I get help with the install? Is there a book (written in HUMAN English) that I can buy? I have read all kinds of "how to's" and I am missing something because I have tried to install THREE versions of Linux and can't get any to work (on my new $2300 paperweight of a laptop).
Just tell me what to do...or should I buy windows 98 and forget it?
The laptop has no operating system...now.
Thanks for any help
