I am wondering how can I learn more PC skills. PC as in installing Linux on a PC, and general Windows maintenance. I have two boat anchor computers to practice on, but I am really starting from zero with this. I understood Commodore 64 BASIC and I can use a solder gun, so I am quite sure I have the capability, but I don't know where to start. I tried installing Linux on a Pentium but I got as far as Boot Failure and didn't know where to start troubleshooting. What I need is someone to help me when I am going wrong. I wonder if the local computer store would help out if I ask nicely? hmmm.

Maybe I will have to just have to break out the hex wrench & screwdrivers. ;) At least it's a start, to peek inside the box.

In art class, we learned: if you are at a loss to explain the meaning of something, just describe what you see. I figure by that they mean that you will start to see connections then.

Or is that how you explain dreams? Apparently if you explain them the same way you would explain them to an alien from another planet, ie explaining every last detail, the connections will become apparent to you too.
