Well I think once you take a dislike to something, nothing's going to shift you! :) If you were to sum up much of the support in this list, you'd say it was specific to the questioner's needs. This is how it tends to work with support on the forums, too. Isolation/specificity - essentially the same thing, but with different connotations and attitudes that are suggestive of how different people can approach resources. You're never going to find the thread: 'Mr Menneer: here's the answer to whatever computing issue you're after' but search is a powerful tool and if you have a good look around, you should pick up some helpful tips. > And looked at the manual which seems to be for Edgy but which soon > leaves me behind..

Just dip into these things and try to get a general idea, rather than aim to master everything in one go. You might find some of the video tutorials helpful. In another thread today, someone's already mentioned the screencasts at the documentation pages (http://doc.ubuntu.com/screencasts/). There's also others, a couple being: http://www.ubuntuvideo.com/ http://ubuntuclips.org/ Try searching for more if you find this medium helps. I;m sorry that I won't be able to get back to you until Tuesday - work intervens - you've given me more to look at, and it'll have to wait until then.
