<div dir="ltr">Your problem with software is mine, but I found a way to get over it. Most Unix based<div>OS's use text files to configure and start up the machine. Indeed there is something</div><div>called Linux From Scratch (LFS):</div><div><a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/">http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/</a><br></div><div>It will take you by the hand and show you how to build your own OS, and in the process</div><div>you will learn how the innards work. Since the config files are text you will learn how to</div><div>follow them and see exactly how the system boots up and manages the whole thing.</div><div><br></div><div>In my view Windows is like a car with the hood welded shut. </div><div><br></div><div>Unix based systems for the most part are like a car that provides all of the documentation</div><div>to dig into the vehicle and fix it your self. </div><div><br></div><div>Even Apple Macs are in my view easier to work on than Windows because of the BSD</div><div>based OS. I can go in and follow what the machine is doing, at least until it gets into</div><div>the GUI, there it gets a bit hermetic, but still more open than Windows.</div><div><br></div><div>LFS is all on line so you can go in and follow it, repeat the parts you do not understand</div><div>and see the results as you go through it. </div><div><br></div><div>Take a look at it, I think it will help you gain a better idea of what is going on. Even for</div><div>the MS environments, they all have to do certain things about the same on any given</div><div>piece of hardware, it is just that with Linux you can go in and see how it is done then</div><div>use that to have an idea of what MS is doing with Windows. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Jun 18, 2018 at 7:26 AM <<a href="mailto:mike-2007@elp.rr.com">mike-2007@elp.rr.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I feel bad for people like this, because I am one of them.

magical. I can't wrap my head around how it works, so when it doesn't work<br>
it is frustrating to the max. And when it doesn't work, I need like<br>
step-by-step 1-2-3-4-5 directions or I likely cannot fix it. This is why<br>
I'm willing to pay for the more expensive but totally reliable cables. I<br>
feel certain if I have a problem, the cables are eliminated.<br>

We all have skills, and we all have challenges. You folks who jump in and<br>
try to help others, you're great! Thanks for trying, sometimes even when<br>
the frustration level on the other end is running high.<br>
<br>
Speaking of running the power grid, I'm out the door. Training today and<br>
tomorrow. Running the generation desk Thu-Fri. Everyone - have a safe day!<br>
And if you're on the Western Grid, we'll be doing our best to keep it steady<br>
at 60 Hz.<br>
