Best guess (yanked in un-edited form from my ass) would be that we're seeing a a wave of windows users coming into linux via fedora ( a large number of questions seem to at least include the word 'fedora' in them somewhere ) and windows users aren't overly used to the mailing list form of communication, or locating the proper one for their given dilemma. I recommend politely pointing them in the right direction for assistance. I'd hate to hammer home the idea that we're all elitist snobs unwilling to help. Linux forces need the userbase, so we're going to have to teach the windows people how to think properly in certain contexts. /soapbox zealotry -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center
