The best way to conquer the beast is to wrestle with it -just like you are
doing. If all you do is surf or check email, when things get more
complicated stuff will get sticky very quickly -and just as quickly you'll
figger stuff out. It's kind of like a VW in that regard, you learn by doing.
When you spend an hour dealing with a simple problem, next time you'll know.
Also there's lots of forums out there.

As an aside unfortunately by using windows you are also financially
supporting the richest man in the world, according to Forbes. If anybody
wants an unauthorised version, let me know. ;)
