Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Feb 06

The site is legit but not everything that appears there may be. The forum
itself cannot verify information. Its users will check information, but
there are no guarantees.
I disagree a bit about using Google. I do it myself, but much info will be
dated, especially for a distro such as Ubuntu which changes so much. For
example it could tell you to edit a file such as gconf that is no longer
used in Ubuntu. Or a user can quickly get over his head using someone else's
comand line help and totally wreck his set up. Google is good, but it is a
time consuming crap shoot. If your search skills are good and you know what
to believe and discount then it can be rewarding. At least in a forum others
can serve as a check and prevent bad or dated advice freon sneaking through.
Just be smart and take it slowly.
