In the six and a half years that I’ve been handling the mail here at linux.org, I’ve had to handle thousands of queries on a wide range of Linux topics. I’ve been fortunate, I think, in that a lot of these mails contain simple questions on basic setup issues. They’re easily answered and both sides end up happy. However, there is a good percentage of messages that are angry in tone and express a great deal of frustration with Linux.

Most of these mails seem so bitter that I assume the user has given up on Linux and has gone back to his/her relationship with Microsoft Windows, however dysfunctional that it may actually be. And that’s a shame. Applying some simple rules of common sense with respect to Linux would have made a big difference. Based on what I’ve seen over the years, I’d like to offer the person who wants to try Linux a few words of advice.
