This why I do not want open source.
I can never get help when I need it, and those that try to help have a very snobbish attitude, and like to say you are not learning because you do not want to learn.

Well I can only learn what a teacher teaches me. Books are little no help when trying to get something to work because they assume you the commands, and the ones that tell you what commands to type do not tell you what to do when something fails.

So unless better support comes to open source with an understanding that people do want to learn, but it takes time to learn something new.
