You forgot the step where they call TFWIGWC (The Friend Who Is Good With Computers).

That about sums up the situation unless you run a modified version of free BSD, a Unix like OS, that looks a lot like OSX. I just saying. [-(

I run linux mint, and its fairly easy to use. Of course if your not able to google "how to make [insert program name here] work on linux[insert distro here]" you'll have difficulty with linux. Anyone born after 1980 should be able to use it with out too much difficulty, unless they possess a serious mental disability.

I have done all those steps, unfortunately. The linux stuff was really applicable back in the day when I loading slackware off of floppies. I have done some crazy stuff to try to get things to work. That paragraph is only hyperbole by a very slight margin. I understand it's gotten a whole lot more user friendly these days.

So glad I'm not an IT guy anymore.

Look here sonny boy, just when do you think Unix was coded, let alone Linux? Linus Torvalds himself was born in 1969. [fog]

Even today there are system administrators that must load Linux on protected systems not connected to the Internet. Oh, and update them too. BWAHAHAHAHA [frypan] [frypan] [frypan]

I just can't maintain using a Linux distro as my primary for long periods of time. There is too much that is simply not an option. Currently just keeping it simple with Win 7 (I hate Metro UI) host for day to day stuff, Android, WinMo, school, and photography work, and an OS X 10.8 VM for web and iOS work.

Love it. Being an IT geek and EE that always gets calls from my family to "fix" their computers (and everything electrically related) I really appreciate this flow chart. I love it when you deep into "fixing" a computer problem and the OS tells you to contact the "system administrator" to fix the problem. I am the fricken "system administrator". WTF kind of help is that? [ram27bat]
