"But what I find frustrating about the entire process is that nearly all of the Linux distributions targeting new users don't bother to explain the challenges that exist with using ?made for Windows? hardware combined with their distro. Sure, for you and I it's a snap. For a new Linux user, however, this is not clearly spelled out. Often, selecting video or wireless chipsets can provide hours of unneeded frustration.
"Distro developers have done their jobs well. So have those who are working to promote their distributions throughout the various channels, for the most part. But where I see the ball being dropped early on is with clear guidelines as to what new users should expect.
"I'm sorry, but I think in 2011 we have outgrown statements like 'it's not Windows' and 'visit the forums for help.' Providing a simple notice on the distribution websites indicating that self-installation is to be an 'as is' type of deal, would provide some much needed reprieve for newbies everywhere."

"Eclipse: Android code is basically coding in Java. Eclipse is an IDE that is most known for its Java friendly environment and is probably among the first tools one needs to download as they start out developing on the Android platform. Google, the creator of the Android platform, have done an excellent job getting the Android SDK to run with Eclipse. The two are almost synonymous to developers. Eclipse gives developers an easy time in getting their code in sync with facilities such as debugging, the DDMS perspective, and a host of other important tools available in the Android SDK kit. On the surface level, Eclipse makes Android development a whole lot better - the object oriented code is easy to write and manage, plus you can get a design view of layout files such as XML based files used in Android code."
