Promote libre software / GNU/Linux and support (Score 0)

Promote libre software, libre tutorials/texts, and related causes like anti-DRM efforts. We currently lack good tutorials for GNU/Linux users regarding applications like OpenOffice. Allot of the ones in existence fail to really support GNU/Linux-even though they are not specific to an operating system necessarily (although in practice they end up being). For instance the other day I attempted to submit an suggestion for improving a tutorial where the site asked for suggestions. The message I got back was they simply weren't interested in supporting GNU/Linux (at least that is what it amounted to). They claimed to be OS neutral. Then said they only support the unmodified releases. The problem with this is that they really meant they only support OpenOffice.org downloaded releases. This source of unmodified OpenOffice releases is only suitable for MS Windows users. It is simply too difficult for users on other operating systems to install it using this method. It isn't the normal route for getting OpenOffice on GNU/Linux. To deny adding even the mere mention of Ubuntu requiring openoffice.org-evolution meant users of this platform who were inexperienced or new to computing couldn't use the tutorial. This is the type of thing I would like to see improved. Either working with such sites to redirect GNU/Linux libre software users to fixes for minor issues when following such tutorials when those specific tutorials are not really supporting non-MS Windows users-or writing / modifying those tutorials for libre / GNU/Linux users.
