[edit] Help/troubleshooting hints
- This guide is going to give you a good start in the world of Linux, but I'm sure you will have questions along the way. Don't be afraid to ask questions but be sure to ask them right...
- Try searching around for the answer first. You can imagine that help forums get asked the same questions many times over so see if someone else has run into the same problem as you.
- Go ahead and come right out with your question. Try to be concise and initially avoid giving too much background information; if it really is necessary someone will ask you to elaborate on your problem. You’re more likely to get an answer if people don't have to read large chunks of possibly irrelevant information they could have deduced from hearing your problem or asked at a later date.
[edit] Distro-dependent Information
