To Whom,
Why sooooooooo m-a-n-y cliffhangers. Why soooooooo m-u-c-h rope to do as
we please and as the documentation will allow (granted, plenty of room
is how it should be and is). Then, when it r-e-a-l-l-y counts...
nothing!
I've been at this Linux 2.0.30 by Red Hat with version 4.2 long enough
to know that I keep coming back around to the same spot I finished
leaving with the prior project. A brick wall! It's not the OS that I'm
so critical about, it's the lack of direction and REAL detailed go at it
sort of documentation that allows beginning and definitely finishing
results!
I went as far as I could with any and everything possibly related to the
server processes to enable the local hosts to gateway, ip_forward, share
resources, and blah, blah, blah. Many of it still not finished because
the lack of real finished documentation. Finally, the moment came when I
knew that a major step needed to be put in motion... compiling the
kernel. Ha, Ha, Huh!!!!!!!!!
I compiled the kernel with the intention to allow myself the ability to
modular'ize all those things that change every so often or allow room
for growth without recompiling the kernel and making the kernel
unnecessarily large. No such luck! I read all the documents, printed
necessary booklet documentation to avoid rushing back and forth to view
this and that, physically traced every detail, avoided every pitfall,
followed every detail output to the screens, tried to divide and conquer
and crashed!
Physically, it is aggravating and emotionally draining to adhere with
experience, intelligence, and a lot of creativity to the steps provided
in the software packages. In my short time while working with Linux (I
emphasize Linux... not users), I'm convinced that it is far superior
then any other OS. It's just a wee bit short of an enormous amount of
information to carry over the necessary projects to the operating, fully
functioning, finishing point.
