| Can't really blame her. Ubuntu obviously doesn't have the same reputation that Windows does among your average computer user. When you buy something from a trusted salesperson (lol Dell) and they say it's "like Windows", what do you expect? Poor girl thought she got scammed and just didn't know what to do. Unfortunately not everyone can post here in the CORe and get our insightful help :o |

| I Wish I had the patience for UNIX Distro , I did try Redhat many years ago and it took me 3 days to get my router config working after compiling about 20 sources with the kernel. |

I feel your pain, but it has come a LONG way since then. Get ubuntu and install it from windows. It does not require a separate partition or anything. ;) |

| Many Ubuntu users also wrote very personal attacks about the young lady who was having trouble using the operating system. They called her "lazy," "a dumb girl," and "not worthy of a college degree.":haha: |

Saw this on fark yesterday.
Probably has been said but my favourite part is that the lady dropped out of a year of school rather than try to fix her problem at hand. Sure, college is purported to train people technically for their chosen specialty, but if you can't problem solve and don't want to learn how, you're not going anywhere. |

| Ubuntu is not for "clueless" (for lack of a better word) users. Windows does a better attempt at being that. Dell should have helped her better, instead of pushing nerdy technology. It is not windows, and it doesn't do everything windows does the way windows does, so don't push it as if it were. |
