[BadVista Advocate] Linux for Newbies

[Jacob Maynard]

Agreed, but not a workable option in the case of someone new switching to
GNU/Linux. Not enough people are interested in learning on their own by
messing around with it. You have to give them a resource to use for their
information. Something simple and straight forward. Telling them to mess
around with it will make them upset and make them give up.
