Personally I think there is a missing link for those of us who are not as 
computer literate as most of the people on this list.  My frustration is 
that most Linux installs rely on the user having Windows 
installed.  Why?  Is there a distribution of Linux available which will 
allow you 1st to just install what is needed to operate the system, and 
then guide you through a logical progression of learning the system? I just 
don't want to install thousands of programs when I have no clue what they 
do and how to use them. Any suggestions of how a true novice to Linux 
should approach learning the system would be greatly appreciated.
