When you gotta do 96% of everything by hand it helps you learn , When i ran into a problem i would goto linuxquestions.org or justlinux.com it seemed someone else would have same or almost same problem when i searched the forums, which 99% of the time someone would answer there question. I guess my point of the story is, best way to learn is figure it out on your own, When you run into a problem, try to solve it, dont panic and ask your neighbor to do it for ya ( i get that alot LOL) I dont mind helping someone out when they help there self, and dont take me the wrong way, I not trying to flame anyone, I hate people who do that, If you dont have something good to say, plz dun open your mouth.. Here is some great places to get help: http://linuxquestions.org http://justlinux.com My site, me and my bro from another motha run it, Its really jus a few friends hanging out, but anyones more then welcome to come join us, http://m3th.net Good luck .. -- Support Free Speach , DROP AN ELBOW!!
