Promotion of Linux is one of many tasks for me!

[Markus McLaughlin]

When I use Fedora a lot more for my own uses, I will write more about it,
since I chose it for my main Linux OS.  Right now, I am trying to hook up
with other writers, I am not a Programmer,
just a Super User, looking for alternatives to ALL of the apps I used to use
on Windoze and what
I use on my MAC as well.  My mission is to convert regular folks who don't
know Windoze, MAC,
or Linux, and convert them into Linux Users, IT guys can help me out with
this task!  Onward and forward!

I really like your enthusiasm in this regard. Kudos to you! I'm very 
passionate, but sadly have too scarce free time to devote to any 
non-professional-related (aka work) projects. In person, though I'm 
rather passionate about Linux and particular about Fedora. Every day I 
find a reason why I use Fedora over other distributions, as I tend to 
use a lot of distributions to keep a "sane balance" in my objectivity. 
Maybe some time I'll send you a quick write up when time permits, I 
actually look forward to see what you come up with this project, and 
hopefully you'll be able to turn it into a full blown magazine.

I have been getting similar questions from what I like to think of as 
"average" computer users contemplating the switch to Linux.

I decided to print them in an advice column format rather than an FAQ to 
help get the friendly nature of Linux across.  The hope is that other 
users will find some of the info helpful.  Though I'll admit there's not 
much in the Q&A those already using Linux will find exciting.

I usually get a very vague question, so I can't give more than a
Vague/RTFM answer, but If you'd like a little insight into what these 
users are thinking about, you can check out

Just today I got around to following your link to try out the Q&A.

When I clicked on ANY of the answers, it dumped me into the top level  
of the web site with no answers, and no indication that what happened  
was that the answer was not found or moved.

What happened?

Someone happening across your excellent questions might mistake it as  
a very detailed way to put someone onto a marketing site. I'm sure  
that's not what you intended.

You might want to see why clicking on the answers stopped working.
