No fix for me fuzzy.
Linux is great, IF you have a computer to spare and use it on. If you have never used it
and don't know anything about command line use, then don't go full linux. You can even
dual boot a pc with it and windows on. You need a box to mess up on to learn it. Out of
the box installs are very easy these days but once you get it installed, then you need to
know what to do then. You need to learn about how to tar and untar files (zipping) and
all about navigating in the unix heirarchy. PERMISSIONS is another big issue.
I encourage any and all interested to go for it. Just don't blow away your only pc and expect
smooth sailing when you log in. You will be very disappointed. You will sit there going.."
Wow....this looks cool......now what can I do??"
