Wizards?
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2013 5:43 pm
I was very disturbed to see some negative comments about your wiki in another post. You guys do a fantastic job putting out a free product and certainly don't deserve to be told your wiki sucks. However, I do have a problem with not so much the wikis, but with the whole linux experience. I'm trying hard to learn it, but I've crashed my server too many times to say it's been fun. What I was wondering is why there are no wizards to guide the feeble minded like me through the process. Is is a quirk of linux? Do linux users feel disgust for us lazy people who would rather answer a few questions than take on the task of learning linux commands?
I tried installing Webmin to help me, but I've only managed to mess up my installation. I've tried using the terminal, but I have no earthly concept of what goes on after I paste in code and hit the enter key. I've struggled to set up my home server for easy access at work, but for the most part, I have failed. Now I need to upgrade my drives and want to upgrade to Ubuntu, but I'm not seeing anything that doesn't confuse me to the point of paralysis. I don't understand the instructions because no matter how simple they seem to experts, they assume an intermediate level of knowledge about linux, servers, and networking. If wizards aren't a reality, would it be too much to ask for an Amahi for Dummies page with lots of pictures and simplistic explanations?
Please keep up the good work.
