I don't have the ability to do this. I don't have time to learn this, since I work on a voluntary basis in other areas. And who knows, even if I would have the time to learn, perhaps I'm not able to do it. So again, is "self-responsibility" = "spend all your live time with setting up Linux only"? Isn't the philosophy of a community that people have different abilities and that they take care of each other? Regards, Ralf
