as a side note, the best way to explain technical information is to use technical terminology as much as possible, and to avoid slang. if someone asked me: "How do I configure X?" and I responded: th3r3 r m4ny d1ff3rn't w4ys.... there would be much misunderstanding. especially if the person asking the question has a hard time understanding the english language. To top it off, getting angry that they didn't understand is a whole different story! ryan ---I've had my rant for the day, now I can have a 'more enjoyable' evening---

Horrible English. Do you really expect us to read this noise? :-(

I am with François. Mind you, there are not only native speakers on the list and I don't have the nerve to imagine every words "sounding" and bet on the most probable meaning in context.

I don't mind those that have problems expressing technical suff in a language foreign to them, but those that are able, should express themselfs to be understood.

This is not IRC and you don't have to be quick in response.

After installing 6.1 with KDE, I cant seem to find where to set up 3-button emulation, which makes it tough to paste copied text in to kvt or something. How do I set this up? Thanks, marlon
