Well of course what is crap to you is vital for another mans rose garden!
However look at Newbies Manual and Newbies Administrators Guide both of
which contain SIMPLE & UNDERSTANDABLE detailed instructions as to setting
up a Linux system, the instructions may not suit you personally but that
does not mean they are useless to someone starting out in Linux, once
started on the road it becomes progressively easier to make informed
choices, hopefully the intent of a newbies list is to make things easier for
total newbies who as they progress will move to expert and themselves
contribute to helping other newbies.
Anyway thats my philosophy and at 72 years old I am unlikely to change now,
the giving of advice is just that "GIVING". There is no onus on the
recipient to take or act upon it nor should the giver feel aggrieved if it
is not taken, it is simply put out there in the hopes it might be useful. I
remember starting out with Basic then CP/M then Dos and Windows and have
only in the last few months started to explore the fringes of Linux, however
it keeps me young and gives me some amusement sitting on my catamaran in the
Caribbean
"Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honeydew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of paradise." (The linux user)
