Thanks Daryl
Thats what I'm doing at the moment. Lots of howto, mini howto's, and
scratching head.
Yes and I'm lucky as a friend who is a UNIX engineer introduced me to the
real world of computing. However there is no challenge if he show me how
everything works.
Know of any good books for newbies?
Cheers
Mac
