Yes thank you,
The amount of mailing list is very excessive and sometimes difficult to
fathom.
The reason why I asked the question in this forum was that the KDE/Lunix
forum was inappropriate for this question.
Personally I see no value in posting the same question to multiple lists
at the same time and I trust the system is wise enough to knock back
multiple addressed emails.
I only think 2 lists are appropriate for things I don't know right now.
That is like throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks - That is
neither helpful nor constructive.
This one for strictly Linux O/S type question such as this one was and
the KDE/Linux list for questions relating to the use of
a KDE application.
I think I have worked out which to use and when now. Unfortunately every
Distro has a wide number of applications and finding the correct
audience or list for your question
is a mine field.
Unfortunately is hard being a new kid on the block. Stepping out of one
environment where you were completely competent and comfortable in and
diving into a different O/S
and having you extensive experience count for nothing is difficult -
perhaps that is why many don't want to change their O/S where they
change from
the master into the student and sometimes we forget.
Kind regards
