Hello.

I am a year old newbie. A little over year ago I had little to no real
computer knowledge of any kind.  I hardly remember installing. But I
still have my notes. I'm currently learning on my own, and some of my
concerns are downloading, and putting "things" in proper order.  The
Standards older Linux users consider second nature I am nervous about,
like how to make fixes where to get them. New users need direction and
projects to strengthen their knowledge.  I know I do.
