"Son, life is about building character. I know you don't like dangling pointers right now, but some day, you'll thank me for preparing you for the struggles of the real world.

No. You can get around otherwise, enjoying Linux and getting work done at the same time without messing around with the command-line, which is what a lot of this guide deals with. Look over this guide and then pick and choose what you need. Want to learn how to change file permissions? Check out the section on the
