I have looked at some of those Linux README files.  Quite unlike 
the README files that come with DOS and Windows programs, the
instructions are not simple enough for newbies to understand at all.
If the Linux program authors  would simply desist from talking over 
everyone's heads then Linux would become a much more popular OS.
