"Con Kolivas is a prominent developer on the Linux kernel and strong proponent of Linux on the desktop. But recently, he left it all behind. Why? In this interview with APCMag.com, Con gives insightful answers exploring the nature of the hardware and software market, the problems the Linux kernel must overcome for the desktop, and why despite all this he's now left it all behind."

I agree, however it is not unreasonable for the seasoned Linux users to expect newbies to search and read rather than post without first making an effort to figure it out on their own. There are copious amounts of tutorials, how-tos, and even forum posts answering many of the questions that get asked by newbies over and over (and over and over....).
When I see a newbie who asks a question that has an answer available on the web but at least explains the he tried to find the answer I am much more inclined to be helpful than: "This is broke, what do I do?" style posts.
