Hey, I never said it was easy. :-)
When it comes to this sort of thing, I tend to give someone enough
information so they can get started. There's still a bit of figuring
out to do, obviously.
I suppose you could say I'm a "teach someone to fish" man, rather than
a "give him a fish" type; If you give someone a fish, you've given
them a meal. If you teach them to fish, they can feed themselves for
the rest of their lives. Not a perfect analogy, but you get the idea,
I'm sure.
Also, as a comparative newbie to Linux (less than four years), I'm
still learning a lot of things, myself.
