An IDIOTS GUIDE to Linux ??

[DrHu]

I wouldn't mind if a little bit of DOS came into this OS but alas no we are to basically GUESS what all these STRANGE words mean not a bit UNDERSTANDABLE to us 'old codgers

I have a feeling, a strange feeling of a rant coming on

Alas, most Windows OS or Apple OS (classic , OS9 or OS-X) users never understood their file system, and depended on the GUI to teach them: It can't, it is not designed with that purpose in mind..
--I guess we might now throw in Linux users, who don't want to type anything, but rather depend on the GUI to provide the answers: same answer as for Windows OS or Apple OS, it can't

..I am willing to PAY for such a book if there is one, our local bookshop doesn't even know what Linux is let alone have a book.

Let me save you that unnecessary expense!..
