[BadVista Advocate] Linux for Newbies

[Graham Cox]

Additionally, there are an awful lot of instructions and tutorials that are 
not distro-specific at all, but are package-specific, or environment-specific, 
or whatever. How to use GNOME does not really change whether your running 
Ubuntu, Gentoo or Red Hat, or anything else out there. The principles are 
still the same. Additionally, the choice of window manager is going to be the 
same regardless of the distro that is used.

There are distro-specific parts that are needed - how you install software on 
Ubuntu is very different to how you do so on Gentoo - but there is a lot more 
that is not distro specific at all.
