I have had numerous RH distributions and am almost a novice. I can do maintainence items, installing distros, screwing up and fixing, some kernel work. I have found this list to be far more than just a resource for when I get into trouble. Reading these lists can give a person quite an education. I am unfamiliar with many of the terms, acronyms, programs and applications mentioned on this list. PAM, LDAP, MX servers and scores of others. Is there a Linux dictionary/encyclopedia that can give one a definition and a short explanation of these things? I am currently working my way through "Rute users Tutorial and Expostion " but that may take a year or longer. TIA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
