It is a dictatorship, as are all Yahoo Groups, with Yahoo being God (so to speak), and the list owner (not me) as the absolute dictator, as long as s/he does not displease the God Yahoo. Beneath that absolute dictator, there is, generally speaking, a meritocracy... those with the best Linux chops being at the top of the heap, with everyone else finding their level, and newbies at the bottom of the heap. With about 6 years running Linux, I'm probably around the middle of the heap, which makes me more aware now than I was when I joined my first Linux list, of the wisdom behind the meritocracy model, and the structure quasi-imposed on these lists, by the FAQs This stuff was developed by trial and error, by a bunch of really smart people, for demonstrably good reasons. Stay or go as you choose. You might want to check out the Jargon File: http://catb.org/jargon/ There is a lot of history behind Linux, *nix, Open Source, Free Software, etc. Linux isn't Windows. Linux/ *nix is about problem solving. Windows is about having your problems solved for you. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
