@Loverock Davidson ... Repetition is likely how LD learns. Since she has no friends (how could she?), nobody is around to show the click-by-click steps to install and configure Linux.
It's no wonder that LD doesn't like Linux, apparently somebody played a joke on her and gave her Mepis (per numerous recompile the Kernel assertions). What a cruel joke too, as LD isn't capable of grasping new concepts outside of rote memory through repetition. Again, as evidenced by her many posts.
I've installed and configured Linux for folks with very limited PC experience - USING Linux is easy and installing/configuring is getting easier and easier (Linux MINT!), but for LD, she is lost, as nobody is there to configure her machine for her. Perhaps she needs to buy a Dell with Ubuntu pre-installed, then she'll realize that Mepis is but a distro and not what every linux looks like.
This is what happens when you're a know-it-all - nobody wants to play nice with you and it's hard to get anyone to show you new things over and over so you can 'learn'.
No, LD, competency is not your strong suit. You'd make a much better lawyer than tech, as it's all too easy to despise you.
