played with Xenix, Minix and even BE-OS. I've never
successfully installed any distribution of Linux. I don't
know why, but when I tried to read the documentation I gave
up. The documentation was simultaneously dumb and obtuse and
way too wordy. So I concluded that Linux is a hobbiest OS
without much real-world use.
From your responses, it seems the situation has not
changed. - Mark.
Well, I am a liberal arts educated 70-something (and female to boot) without a technical computer background like yours to brag about. I am just a lowly user with a curiosity and willingness to learn. I have also been very stubborn in my quest to dump windoze FOREVER! I have absolutely no problem installing Linux, editing configuration files etc. If I run up against a problem, I LEARN rather than whine and find reasons why I can't do it. We are obviously two very different personalities. I posit that your problem with Linux is YOU!
