The thing that amazes me about 10.3, is how little bitching there is on *this* list about how that install borked some kind of setup that was working prior to the install , weird . It must really be an easy peasy install for *most* folks.. Otherwise there would be maximum screaming on this list AND the OT list.. if you guys were so determined to keep your message count to a minimum you would join over there. We do occasionally have some spirited discussions, and even some help is offered and accepted.. But there usually are flurries of activity , kinda like this list, but w/ way fewer folks to go thru... I'm just saying... As I recall it was some kind folks from this list ( back in the olden times, 7.0-ish) who actually began that list, to be nice to you folks, who don't seem able to ignore messages you aren't interested in, someone offered to host the original "OT list, & in short order we were busy enough over there, that we got "put on a Suse server.. Thanks so very much to whomever gave us that recognition. BTW I'm not claiming that the OT list didn't exist prior to 7.0, just that's the only time I recall there was a message "posted" , here,asking if anyone were interested, and when there were say, more than 25 people, that was the start of it..
