Well, I am a liberal arts educated 70-something (and female to boot) without a 
technical computer background like yours to brag about.  I am just a lowly user 
with a curiosity and willingness to learn. I have also been very stubborn in my 
quest to dump windoze FOREVER! I have absolutely no problem installing Linux, 
editing configuration files etc. If I run up against a problem, I LEARN rather 
than whine and find reasons why I can't do it.  We are obviously two very 
different personalities. I posit that your problem with Linux is YOU!
