You need not be a user or system administrator in isolation. A large community of Linux and OS X experts is willing to assist you in learning about, helping you solve problems with, and getting the most out of a Linux or OS X system. Before you ask for help, however, make sure you have done everything you can to solve the problem yourself. No doubt, someone has experienced the same problem before you and the answer to your question exists somewhere on the Internet. Your job is to find it. This appendix lists resources and describes methods that can help you in that task.
