1. Introduction
This project aims to make such Open Source modules or utilities (for Linux) by which any user can shoot any problem with or without having good technical knowledge/skills.
"I have been using Linux for a long time.I have faced so many technical problem and shoot those out. Again i faced more problems and resolved them. And again, I faced more problems. But at this stage, I found most of them are same problems and same repeated solutions for those. So this idea came in my mind, Shouldn't I make a troubleshooter. A troubleshooter which would be smart enough to resolve the problems based on some interaction between the user and the troubleshooter."
The Troubleshooter will work based on the answers given, and will present likely solutions & will ask further clarifying questions.
Naming :
TuxGuru = Tux + Guru
o Tux symbolizes Linux (open source software)
o Guru - a Hindi Word, which means 'Teacher' ( a person who
understands the problems and suggests appropriate solutions)
