You need not act as a user or system administrator in isolation. A large community of Linux experts is willing to assist you in learning about, helping you solve your problems with, and getting the most out of your Linux system. Before you ask for help, however, make sure you have done everything you can to solve the problem by yourself. No doubt, someone has experienced the same problem before you and the answer to your question can be found somewhere on the Internet. Your job is to find it. This appendix lists resources and describes methods that can help you in that task.
