Some Interesting Google Terms

[Mel Thompson]

Google, in quotes, these terms, "synaptic doesn't work," or, "apt-get doesn't work," or, "rpm doesn't work." Oh yeah, and google, "sudo doesn't work." For a while it sort of looked like CNR might help newbies, but google, "cnr doesn't work." The key theme here is "doesn't work." One wonders how many thousands or millions of pages of testimony it will take?

You see, I really was feeling a little lost and searching for some perspective. The "84 Million" post actually made everything a lot clearer for me. Sometimes we are in the middle of some world, in my case the Linux one, and I lose sight of the larger picture. "84 Million" definitely made the way seem a little clearer. LOL!
