Although I didn't agree with the tone of this message, I definitely think something needs to be done about Linux documentation, especially if it is expected that people switch to it from Windows/Mac (my personal opinion is that they *should* do that) where a lot of things are tucked away and done behind their backs. People have told me that certain things on Linux are difficult to setup, but the only thing I've personally found difficult is reading a how-to and I'm someone who's been with computers when DOS was the predominant OS for "PCs". I don't like the idea of people new to computers trying to understand the how-tos when I've had trouble with them myself, although Linux *is* relatively new with its popularity and I'd imagine all this would be cleared up in a year from now when Bill Gates will be the head chef of McDonald's. : ) -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 B Grafyx http://www.bgrafyx.com L.J.R.
