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, but YMMV.

Since you are here on Fedora I will grant that you are familiar with
Fedora. You do know that the various distributions are different? Means?
An*expert*  in Fedora Linux might be / could be lost on a Ubuntu system.
Or a Mageia system. Or "name goes here' Linux system?

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."
