In a strange cross-patch (sorry for hijacking your post Brad!), I believe
this answers the question on the other thread about what constitutes 'basic
information'. It's a series of "launch-off points":

1. How do I get online, use a browser, configure networking ...
2. How do I listen to music, store and organise music, edit music, share
music ...
3. How do connect to another machine, use SSH/FTP, configure a LAN ...
4. How do I keep my computer safe, encrypt data/drives, maintain a secure
network ...
5. How do I get my webcam working, create and edit videos, share videos ...

Hope that makes sense!

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I
start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake.
I feel better already.
