Yes you can and yes we can. The list is archived on the Internet (http://lists.suse.com/, http://lists.suse.com/archive/, http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/) and Google indexes that archive. The "site:" and / or "inurl:" options to Google make restricting searches to these archives trivial, so in effect, the SuSE-run lists _are_ archived and searchable.
So please do your homework first. After all, to do so is just common courtesy to people participating in high-volume lists.
Randall you are right. However, someone from the windows world cannot install Linux and instantly know the all the nuances and terms of the Unix/Linux world. There was no need for the kind of remarks that were made early on in this thread. There is such a thing as common courtesy and respect for people. The real problem is that SUSE and the other Linux distros need to do a major rethink about the way support is provided to Linux newbies. www.opensuse.org looks like a step in the right direction. See you, Rich
