Hi, I've recently partnered with a local used computers shop to do basic installs: http://laportelogique.com/liste-de-prix I can also do more specialized work as you ask. I've helped several people on this list. What you describe can take between 2-4 hours, but I charge a fixed amount for such jobs. My rates double if you stand by me, and I offer 20% discount if you pre-pay with Bitcoin or cash. My Ubuntu experience is detailed here: http://ubuntu.magicfab.ca Contact me off-list (email, webform or phone) and we can talk: https://www.legoutdulibre.com/en/contact/ > Ideally I'd like to learn as much as i can as well but that is only > secondary. > > Any recommendations on good resources for learning how to admin your own > computer would be appreciated too!

A few pointers: * http://debian-handbook.info/download/stable/debian-handbook.pdf * http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/faq.html * http://ubuntu-manual.org/downloads Ask (and research) your questions here: * On this list :) * http://www.reddit.com/r/ubuntu * http://askubuntu.com/ You can also borrow quite a few Ubuntu (and GNU/Linux) books from public libraries in Montreal. If you go to the Mile-End library you will find most of the ones listed under "Ubuntu Linux" at http://nelligan.ville.montreal.qc.ca/search*frc (most were donated by me) - but they are not very recent. I hope this is useful, don't hesitate to ask more questions on this list (or off-list, as appropriate).
