Hi Derrick, This mailing list, savannah-help-pub...@gnu.org, is for help with GNU Savannah, not general questions regarding GNU/Linux. On a quick sidenote, I'd strongly recommend using a distribution of GNU/Linux, and not attempting to build everything yourself. For a list of free distributions, look here: http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html For help regarding the above distributions, look around each distribution's webpage and search for support, or a support mailing list. All the best, Michael
