This being the newbie list, it is supposed to be friendly to newbies and helpful, and not a place for somebody to try to look smart by slashing anyone with a pertinent question. There are plenty of lists out there that do this already. Red Hat mailing lists are famous for their rudeness and complete lack of social skills online. I don't know what linux list on the net would rank as the all time greatest concentration of social imbeciles, but I'm pretty sure that the Red Hat list scores pretty good. Linux is already unfairly propagandized as being unfriendly without having the extra burden of being accused of encompassing a bunch of a**hole users. One reason I think Mandrake is successful as it is is because of it's receptiveness to new users and it's acceptance (and also education) of them. Without that, MDK would be just another gray distro. We need to keep the newbie list the friendliest list on the net, so that we can continue to remain a haven for new users. To that end we have an unusually large aggregation of socially aware users on this list; that are also technically capable. LX -- ************************************************ Trouble with sound?
