What are you saying? Even if you are in a rural area, is there not a college (or "community college") within easy driving distance? Even a drive of, say, fifty miles each way, is not unreasonable. A visit to an installfest can be invaluable when one is setting out with Linux, because of the expertise which such events attract. Years ago, even after much reading, I had been unsuccessful in trying to envision and implement a proper workflow for desktop publishing with Emacs and LaTeX in the X environment. Thankfully, I mentioned my confusion to the guru who was installing my system, and in an off-the-cuff demonstration which lasted less than ten minutes, he demonstrated to me everything which I needed, in the process introducing me to a key package -- xdvi -- with which I was unfamiliar.
