xkcd finally lets the cat out of the bag and makes everyone an expert in the process. (i can think of a few people i could give the chart to - but i'd have to staple it to their face so that they don't lose it.)  original source: http://xkcd.com/627/ |

This is definitely being sent to my mother! But I'm afraid I'll need to teach her how to follow a flowchart.

The flowchart is missing my big-gun, magic bullet: restart the machine.
This fixes 90% of the problems I get asked about.

I hear you. About a third of the problems I get to deal with end up being JOOTTs. JOOTT - Just One Of Those Things
(pronounced: jute)
Any system problem that ultimately gets 'fixed' by simply rebooting the machine; or, reinstalling the software.  |

Absolutely under NO circumstances should one attempt to install FreeBSD under the influence of alcohol.  You have been warned... |

Same goes for attempting to start a Gentoo Stage 3 after having a few too many pints of Kanc Country Maple Porter.  But I have a 3 day weekend, a case of beer, and nothing planned... <-Just add FreeBSD y/n) Do not be afraid!  A botched install builds character. |

I don't know if you were just being funny or not but I seriously couldn't share this with anyone I help for that very reason! |

You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do.

Just great. I see my mother, my mother-in-law, my wife and some other people before my inner eye giving me that ... special look. I am afraid they lack the sense of humor that is required to read both charts.
Sigh. Back to remote support again. Thank <insert preferred higher being> for TeamViewer software.
