Over 25 years, my wife has grown dependent on me to maintain the computers and fix problems. I worry that if something happens to me, she will be unable to stay connected, do upgrades, keep the printers working, get stuff repaired and replaced, and resist charlatans and crooks exploiting her current lack of knowledge.
We are considering a project over the next year: writing a "Linux Widow's Guide". Perhaps that title is sexist; I have met many competent women Linux adepts, but none with a non-techy husband depending on Linux systems that she exclusively maintains. "Linux Widow(er)s Guide" seems clunky and harder for a librarian to catalog, but might actually sell better. I imagine there are many "Linux Spouses" on this list with similar dependents; would anyone else like to contribute writing to this project?
