[newbie] REAL Newbies: looka here! AND Helpers

2002-03-24 Thread john rigby

Hi folks,
At Sridhars prompting - I went back to looking around - don't know WHY I
never found this Site before - perhaps as I always searched mandrake.COM.

http://www.mandrakeuser.org/index.php
DOCS!!  General discussion etc.

http://www.mandrakeuser.org/download.php
Tons of stuff to help you that has already been asked and answered many
times in a very useable form for beginners.

For you REAL Helpers - it would be good to remind new, new Users about this
avenue. Would save you lots of repeats. (Searching archives is always
daunting, even for experienced Users - they are never library organised by
their very nature.)

Cheers,

John

Don't forget that there are a thousand or more articles on MandrakeForum 
( www.mandrakeforum.com ) as well.  Many are HOWTO, and many are 
discussions on the same topics as here.  Of course the forum is more 
appropriate, but there is some moderation present--uninteresting posts 
can be moderated down by readers, and abusive posts/trading flames are 
occasionally elimitnated.  For example, one group yelling, GNOME 
sucks! and Another saying, When did they start allowing 3-year-olds to 
post? both got cut off one discussion.  But generally, the OT stuff 
here is welcome there because we don't have a lot of list members paying 
a metered rate for email over there, since it is a web site.

And www.MandrakeExpert.com has a number of experts registered who 
sometimes answer questions.  I seem to recall the figure was at 700.  I 
am not there since 700 was about the number of questions I was seeing 
per day.  You can even offer to pay for a guaranteed answer, or just 
take your chances on the goodwill of others.
