Yes, if you can get around well enough to do anything in linux. I've yet
to succeed in that. I can load it well enough if the package is set up,
but I cant even find a file in the directory, figure out how the heck the
directory tree is organized, or edit anything. If I do stumble on a
command to edit something I can't get out of the editor except by manual
reboot. Why hasn't someone written a guide that compares linux for M$
users?? Like I recently found out that the /etc/fstab file, whereever the
heck it's hiding, is not unlike an autoexec.bat, yet how do you add or
remove things I cannot concieve! I have study linux in 24 hours but cannot
carry out basic lessons because it neglects instructions like how to edit
something "Simply edit the ____ file to produce this result!" it says and
never says how to carry out the suggestion! I've seen this in a few
manuals, neglecting basic instructions such as how to find a directory, how
to open/close applications and files, how to install/remove applications
and files, etc. If DOS instructions were this arcane everyone would have
to use Macs!
