GNU/Linux is all about becoming more self-reliant. And as usual
with this system, there are several ways to achieve the goal. A

however patient and peace-loving the Linux-using community will be,
almost everybody will expect you to have tried one or more of the
methods in this section before asking them, and the ways in which
this viewpoint is expressed may be rather harsh if you prove not to
have followed this basic rule.
