Re: Why

[aphro <nate@firetrail.com>]

based on your email i make the assumption that you may not be fully able
to install/setup linux on a laptop(one of the more complicated platforms
to install to due to the hardware in them) i suggest you attempt to seek
out someone who can help you in person. most linux users are more then
happy to assist and installation for a new user for no charge.

learning how to use linux is more important then learning how to install
it.

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).
