I have a colleague in town who asks me a lot of questions about their system. I never set their system up, never recommended the setup they have (even though my opinion was requested). I find it doubly frustrating because I can't help very well due to my preferences are vastly different from theirs.

I'm going to let Bert learn SBS 2008, I'll learn from his mistakes then he can guide through the steps real easy. If I said, "Bert I'm going to use Linux now." Then called him every day to ask questions, he would disown me as a friend.

The point is, find mentors that are using the same system you end up using. That way they can give valuable help based upon shared experience.
