Yes...yes there does need to be this!! I for one am ok with a bit of a learning curve...I haven't done Linux since the 90's and I'm way out of my league here BUT I am ok with learning!! Now I know another who wants the "plug n play" like the Touch...and is willing to dismiss this whole idea entirely cause of the technical aspect of this...and he's smarter than me LOL!! Documentation is key...Dummies is better...I love the idea of DIY and I get this is a DIY project...but a few basic steps in a sticky would be helpful...right now I'm on page 33 of the read :) Toodles!!!
