That would be great for you geeks :-) Who have been using Linux for
years. For some of us, this is a whole new world. Where do we begin?
Even the names were changed to confuse us innocent. I wish I had a
command of just the language you people use.

I am what you would call a feeble desktop exploiter. I use Linux because
I hate the way Windows treated me when I had to reload it and couldn't
find the correct license. At the time, we had 5 Windows XP computers.
Now we have none.

I am willing to put up with a lot, but there are a great many here who
you guys scare off because you demand us to start with the correct
terminology.
If we already had the correct verbage in the correct sintax, we would
have probably found the answer using Yahoo or Google search.
