This is one potential user of Fedora: Judy, from Arizona. She sent in a letter to the editor of Red Hat Magazine that makes me weep inside. What do we have to say to her? --g -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CM] RE: Red Hat | Training News | Americas | August 2005 Date: 24 Aug 2005 14:58:40 -0000 From: azgjudy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <bblell@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Support <support-byzukdeavsdrjebc9mkazb7v1zzhgs-r@xxxxxxxxxx> Dear Red Hat, I hope you will get this e-mail. I am a single user computer person. I put yes down - so I could receive your e-mails. To tell you the truth I do not know why. Your main emphasis seems to be on business. I switched from Windows because I thought it would be safer and healthier all the way round. To tell you the truth I feel totally lost in your system. I cannot use my CDs that have games. I downloaded a game I had paid for. No way could I get it to work. I wrote to Linux Game. Their directions were like Greek, and I only speak English. I tried to download the anti-virus I use. They have a version for Linux. No way did I get that. I looked into your training, but that is extremely costly. I have bought books. It all come s down to the fact There is little I am able to do with Linux. Mostly I would like to have a plug-in that works, as to the fact there are many things I am unable to open, including some mail, because I can find no way to do it. Dear Red Hat - what are you doing for us little people out here? I am no further today than I was the day this was installed. Thank you, Judy D. ---- Original Message ---- From: redhat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: azgjudy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Red Hat | Training News | Americas | August 2005 Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 14:36:21 -0000 >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Red Hat | Training News | August 2005 >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > >* August trivia question >* Summer gear promotion almost over >* Training press: What certification means to you (Certification > Magazine) >* Red Hat news: Red Hat Network adds monitoring tool, Solaris support > >* South American training news: "Capacitar para progresar" (Latin > Source Tech) >* Ask the expert: Red Hat Training Q & A >* Tips from RHCEs: Remote controlled desktops without VNC > >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > >AUGUST TRIVIA QUESTION: > >Late last year CertCities.com picked Red Hat Certified Engineer >(RHCE) >as the _____ hottest IT certification for 2005. > >A) 1st >B) 3rd >C) 5th >D) 10th >E) None of the above > >[Stumped?
