"Authors, Do Your Research
Most of these posts are written like notes with whatever the author
was thinking at the time. In other words, almost no research goes
in to these posts. Unfortunately, I admit, it is very hard to
criticize Linux if you are not well informed. If you make a wrong
claim or an apparently mis-informed claim, it will be jumped on,
particularly if you used it to point out a flaw. Instead, I suggest
authors keep these notes to themselves. After trying out Linux, or
while you try out Linux, figure out the solutions to the problems
you encounter and take the time to understand what the perspective
of an advanced Linux user would be. Then, once you have done this,
tell me the difference between the newbie's perspective and the
geek's perspective."
