I just wish there would be a way for those who do not want to learn programming, and any other technical stuff, but just to USE a computer for whatever, to learn to use LINUX. I have been trying to learn LINUX for ages, and it is not getting easier, and I am not a complete idiot either, - I know of others who share my sentiments. I did not understand a 20% of you were trying to tell me, but - no need to reply, - for at least now I am giving up Debian, - there just is not any help with learning it, and I do not have all the time in the world either. Thank you, sincerely - Mr. Jan Hearthstone. --- "Karsten M.
