good info, thx
to all others: this is a "newbie" list and I would hope that we would
advocate linux as much as possible even if it means spoonfeeding newbies.
If you want to show your superior l33t skillz, then get on IRC and respond
to all questions with "RTFM". Every user that is converted to linux is
one who will not purchase WIN** or whatever. Sorry I am AFU at the moment,
but everyone needs help at some point, and if you don't wish to spoonfeed
newbies, there are many outlets for expert knowledge.
