OK ALREADY: Is this the way that we treat new users? I have noticed a few new names on the list over the last little while, and I for one wouldn't want them to think that we are an unfriendly or know it all bunch of ........! Yes, it is important to read the answers to the questions that are posed. Yes, it is important to let people know where to find things. Yes, it is useful when we share hints on how to get started. Yes, it is important to make suggestions based on our knowledge or experience(s). Yes, we all share our thoughts and ideas on a voluntarily bases. These are just a few things that I have always thought has made this list great, and that this group is made up of a great bunch of people. People like Kirk R., Bill A., Frank C., Gene C., Keith W., to mention a few, have been fantastic with their assistance and sharing of knowledge / information. I was once a newbie, and still think that I know very little when it comes to Linux. So I would like to say thank you for all the help and suggestions that I have received to date, and that I hope that it continues! Before I forget! Welcome to the list Michael, and I hope that you are able to get a Linux machine up and running that will meet your needs! Steve Dawes PHONE: (403) 268-5527.
