My questions concern generic aspects such as backup procedures, hard drive partitions, and other things that aren't related to a particular version. I have tried asking before and told to go to other lists. You don't sound snide. I've never seen this type of question have to be asked before. I have lots of experience with peer-to-peer lans but no schooling or dealing with the real thing. I have lots of questions concerning networking in general, layouts, particulars for equipment, etc. I know I could throw something together and it work, but I would like to learn how to set them up properly. I am a member of several lists and one of them got upset that I asked about backups once.

I would assume you have the version running on RH. Just be a member of a list for the distro of Linux you have, SuSE, Debian, Mandrake, whatever. I would think you'd get your questions answered on most any package assuming it's included and running on the particular distro you're using. I like RH, have used it for years, and won't use anything else, unless it's maybe Fedora, but I would personally answer ANY question here if I knew the answer, relating to Linux of any flavor. I'm a member of the Sun Solaris managers list and you talk about off topic flaming if you don't ask a specific question about Solaris....it's terrible, but I guess it also saves peoples time. There are trade offs to everything JEFFREY WIMMER ----- Original Message ----- From: "Buck" <RHList@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "RH List" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 6:11 PM Subject: General Linux ListServ > I have several questions that are general to Linux.
