          It depends on the viewpoint:

          Is it better a new user is forced to learn how things really work to become a literate operator of the technology he uses or is it better to let him bypass the mechanics with convenient tools at the cost of him never fully grasping how things tick?

            Ask a new user, the unsurprising answer is “ez pleazee”.

              Honestly i have encountered both situations… especially with older folks (say, 60 - 80 years old) i made the astounding observation that they more often than not want to UNDERSTAND why the computer does this or that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
