I don't know what a STFW is, but I guess it is not very nice. Why do you say that? Wade is new, he wants to know what CUPS is, what's wrong with that? The kind of thing you usually find on the web is rather technical, so it is OK to ask for a simple explanation.
"Search The Fine Web" so you think searching the web is not nice :-)
Linux is supposed to be community where we help each other. Please make it stay that way.
I strongly agree however in order to gain the maximum benefit it is my understanding that the person who needs assistance on a subject
a) has done a preliminary research of information b) either has not found anything related to his question or the information he/she has founded is highly technical the person is confused or is inadequate to solve the problem or answer the question. c) under these circumstances the person who needs further assistance should tell the steps he/she has done so far and where he is getting lost and ask for assistance.
This way it is easier to make suggestions and offer asssistance. I could have easly said Common Unix Printing System, which answers the question in a very vague manner.
Chineese proverb
"Give a man a fish you feed him for today "Teach a man howto fish you feed him for his life"
I prefer the second since I do not like going fishing everyday to feed someone
OK, I agree with the proverb, but with a technical subject like that, I find it nice to give people a starting point. Now that Wade has a general idea of what a printing server, he can STFW with better chance of success. ;-) - -- Thibaut Cousin E-mail : cousin@in2p3.fr Web : http://clrwww.in2p3.fr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9yO/fv1vqsTa1E4oRAuQyAJwKGMc+pyFPStbZWM1NeHV1DQMmYgCfQK7d vNFYoPUoYxNe9r/Dr/0T1yc= =5dPG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
