My favourite part was when you explained how to explain how to change the Screen Saver in Ubuntu 9.04. Great tutorial for Beginners. Keep up the good work.

You're helping a lot of people out here with all these tutorials. Great work. Keep 'em coming if you can think of anything else that can help folks out. Maybe a few tuts on the latest Ubuntu distribution, Jaunty Jackalope (9.04). ;-) In any case, thanks for all the help. You've taught me a couple things that <b>I</b> didn't even know! (And I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable; lol!) I think I'll go ahead and browse the site some more to see if I find any more tuts of interest. :-) Thanks again, dude! ^_^ A friendly cyber-highway passerby, Robert B. Healy III Way to go, man!

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu in the recent past and discarded it because it did not recognize my internet connection and the on-line help menu (accessed from another computer) was so immersed in techniqalese that it wasn't worth my time. Windows has wizards for such things. If the open source community would put their technical prowess ("I know something you don't know; aren't you stupid?") attitude aside and get back down to earth, people would be flocking to use their OS.

But it's geared towards parents (grandparents) and/or people very, very new to computers in general. A lot of the stuff (how to change wallpapers etc) is very similar in Ubuntu as it is in Windows, but even my mum (who has been using Windows for years) doesn't know how to do it. Crump -
