I don't know about you, but if I were to put a friend or relative onto 
Linux (as I did for my sister) I'd be their first-line tech support guy,

My sister uses Ubuntu.  I have an account at the Ubuntu forums to help 
me learn what I need when it's distro-specific.  And, my .sig there 
says, in part, "I don't use Ubuntu, I just support it."
