Suggestions on how to get your support questions answered as quickly as possible

This is great and I'm going to have to study it in much greater detail. My particular gripe with Ubuntu as a whole is that when it's working it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. But when it breaks, finding the solution to the problem is nearly impossible. What's needed is a central help index using good programing technique, that is, branching. For example: General problem (hardware/software), specifics (wireless/touchpad/printing), make/model of computer, etc.

A glossery of commands and an explanation would be helpful. I've done lots of programming in BASIC and some in Fortran and the commands "make sense." But "sudo" or "lshw"? Sorry, I'm lost.

For almost all software and tools you install there are "man" pages (manual pages) simply typing something like "man sudo" without the quotes will give you some but not all information. Aside from that almost all commands you normally will use are part of a "toolset" common to the largest percentage of Unix machines. "A workman is only as good as his tools".
