Information Dilution

…taking off from http://blogs.prashu.com/arbit/content/2008/10/00206/information-dilution.php

This was my theory on why the internet is not newbie-friendly anymore.

The worst part is related to linux. When I want to search how to install, say, the lastest nvidia driver.

I google for ‘nvidia driver install linux’. And I get loads and loads of crap. Next I search for ‘nvidia driver install linux fedora 9′. I get results for all versions of fedora and all version of nvidia and somewhere there is a 9 in the results.

Information Dilution

The worst thing that can happen to someone is when you have a problem and you look online to help solve that problem. Take for instance the problems that I am having with linux. Many things are not working, or I want to install some stuff and I am stuck somewhere and I need some help to bail me out of that situation.
