problem [mod.001]

I want a computer I can understand inside and out. Typical standards of complexity and documentation in computer manufacturing are inadequate.

I'd like my equipment to last long enough for me to reach a high level of understanding (I estimate 7 or more years), and I need it to be portable. Typical standards of durability and serviceability in computer manufacturing are inadequate.

Linux (along with other community OS projects) is fantastic but its strength lies in all the things it protects the user from learning. It is also unmanageably complex for an individual user. While it is useful for many things, it is counterproductive to my goals.

Turtle is my homestead on the digital frontier.
