Re: Support for Linux newbies in various areas of Israel?



First, I would suggest to newbies to BUY a GOOD BOOK. It seems like many
newbies got the impression that Linux is just like windows - run
setup.exe and go...

second, I would like to point them to some web sites like
www.linuxpower.com which is a site for helping Linux users.

Thirdly, I would suggest to start working on a web based forum for
asking questions and answering (something like IOL got with their
issues).
