9-) Did he ever get back to you?

My two cents, more aimed at the hyper-newbie, still in shock from being
confronted with a blank screen, a blinking cursor, and of all things (most
likely) one of those '#' thingies:

Most excellent:

DOS/Win to Linux HOWTO, by Guido Gonzato <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. How to move
from DOS/Windows to Linux. Updated 22 February 1999. 

Whenever I help persuade a Windows user to try Linux I exact a promise from
them that they will buy a copy of Welsh and Kaufman's _Running Linux_ and keep
it either next to the keyboard or at least on the coffee table in front of the
TV so they can browse it during commercials while viewing their favorite
wrestling program or whutever.

Great job on your Newbie Help Guide!
