        long row to hoe in learning about Linux. It gets pretty frustrating at
times, but 
        the little victories (getting modem to work; creating, moving & editing
files; getting
        X configured; etc.) keep me going back for more. It is also very
encouraging/helpful
        to get so much help from those experienced users on this ACLUG list. I
think it is 
        that sort of participation that will be the difference in Linux 
becoming a
challenger
        to MS. Newbies, like me, will need all of the encouragement/support they
can get to
        use Linux. Coming from a DOS/Windows only background, I can tell you 
that
there is 
        a serious learning curve to Linux. I enjoy the challange of learning
Linux, but not
        everyone will.

 OK, Jeremy, there you have it. Not many strengths and plenty of
weaknesses. The two 
strengths I've got going for me are a fair mind and the desire to wrestle
Linus into
submission. Those, and the help I get here, should see me though.
