Hi,

I have observed that most of the NewBies face same or almost similar Linux Problems.

So Why don't we have pre-answered "LQ-FAQ" for the New-Bies.The same thing we can have for the Experienced users also.

Regards,

Prayag

We have the LQ Wiki, our Tutorials section and a really good Search function here, what else is missing?

A method to quickly and effortlesly emplant all the information contained therein in in the NewBies' brains

A means to deliver a 5000 volt shock through the mouse and/or keyboard whenever they use text-speak or titles like "URGENT!!!!", "HELP!!!", or "Ubutno haz screwed up my 'pooter".

I've been trying to get that implemented ever since I became a mod.

Ah, a thread to which BrianL replies, and it isn't the funniest answer in the thread. Bit of a collector's item, that.

The biggest thing that is missing seems to be the wit to use them. I am sure that there are areas that are not as well covered as they might be, particularly given that a newbie-tutorial might be differently written from an expert-level tut, but who is going to work on those if they get so widely ignored?

(That was a rhetorical question; there is great work that has been done, but there is limited motivational payback for doing it, if the good work is to be ignored. Of course, what I could be missing is that maybe there would be even more of the 5kV questions if it weren't for the tuts.)

And I am sure that you are both right that 5kV is enough. Well, for a first offence, anyway

Hi,

Naw, 5kV is to low. Set it to at least 10k, that will get their attention.

Yeah, I must be slipping. I used to have a razor sharp wit, but now it's like a blunt butter knife. Ah, well...
