I think that we need to use ROFM; i.e. Read Our Fantastic Magazine  -- used courteously and as an addition to giving answers. Seriously, I do like the idea of a section for absolute beginners. I'd have loved to have encountered such a place as described here when I first started out. (I still have trouble with manuals, BTW.) |

Sorry T6. RTFM is a very tender sore spot for me. It wasn't all that long ago I was that Linux newbie, and RTFM was heard many times (but never on this forum). In fact, one of the reasons I chose PCLinuxOS was because of the friendliness of this forum and that no one was ever told the dreaded "RTFM" phrase, or any of the other elitist phrases. parnote |

Either you're splitting hairs Parnote or Andys over generalising for your taste; but as I recall both you and your wife are Registered Respiratory Therapists in Independance (hence the stethy). Feel free to correct me if I missed that shot Regards Andy |

7272andy,
You are spot on with your recollections.
And as for the other, it's just a running gag between me and Andy.
