I am a twenty year computer user and a nine month Linux user. Does that STILL make me a "newbie" smile My first computer was a Sinclair 1000 with whopping 2K of memory. I had to learn their "Token Basic" just to use it. Then to Commodore 64 and Commodore Basic. My first PC was a "clone XT" with no Hard Drive just two 306K floppies. I then started to build my own. I added a 32 MEG Seagate hd that cost almost $400. I upgraded the motherboard to a 286, then 386, then 486, then several 586's to now with cases and hardware also. In that time I went from DOS 3.3 to Windows 3.1, then OS/2 2.1, OS/2 Warp 3, OS/2 Warp 4. When IBM baled on the home user someone showed me Linux. I bought L-M 6.0 Complete and am now up to L-M 7.2.. I love it. The learning is mind expanding. Someone gave me a copy of RedHat 6.1. I tried it and went back to L-M. The people on their help lists mostly wrote nasty replies to questions like this one. I have NEVER found that to be the case here. The most important things that I have learned is how not to panic when I screw something up and then how to fix it. ;-) -- David Boles [EMAIL PROTECTED]
