its not going to be a great use to people who have been using Linux, coding for Linux solely using Linux for a decade or more, but for people coming to Linux from Windows it will help them over a conceptual hurdle, introduce a lot of the very basic assumptions that "old timers" take for granted and often don't realise they are assuming.
When I made my move from Windows to Linux some years ago I only found two hurdles. The worst was me. There was a lot of learning what not to do. At first I managed to kill the installation a few times and had to start all over again. The other was figuring out what did what. That was, for the most part, responsible for the other issue in many cases. Other than those issues my life with Linux has been mostly issue free. There were a couple times when I wanted to do something that was, for the most part, not possible in Linux at that time, but was later. I suppose, in light of all the posts I see in the support lists, I have been incredibly lucky. Perhaps the gods of Linux looked down and saw this poor, ignorant, sinner and took pity on me. It installs and runs just fine. I'm a happy camper. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution. Cats are tiny little women in fur coats.
