I wanted to anyway. When I came to linux it took a while to be convinced that all the answers are in the howtos and man pages. It also took some time to learn how to read the man pages effectivly. (dweebspeak) Now I only is unclear. I used to get so po'd when someone said "read the manpage" now I too sometimes say things I probably shouldn't like RTFM.. Just keep reading and after awhile the veil will be lifted..
Actually, despite, some of the occasional RTFM comments, that seems to be mostly at questions that seem obvious or are posted repeatedly. I actually think many--no, _most_ people enjoy being of assistance, especially on the SuSE list. I just get annoyed when people don't bother to try to get what's going on and then start whining and bitching about linux and how it so hard to use. It can have a learning curve, but I think if you have what it takes and really want to give it a go, then it gives you the tools to do so. As you can tell, I'm not a part of the 'let's win over the Windows people crowd'. I just don't believe any one os is for everybody, and I wonder if some people are even suited to using linux. ( that's not meant to be a snotty comment, I just mean, it seems to depend on the user, whether they are willing to do the work to go through the learning process, as as we can see, for some people it does _not_ come easy, regardless of how we found it.) -M One is most dishonest towards one's God; he is not _permitted_ to sin. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
