I think the more important question is how do we (the experienced) help those who have not been able to fully make the transition to Linux?

Well, what about if one experianced user takes care for a newbe, that needs more help than a quick short answer. This could be done on a "problem" basis, since most of the experianced users are experienced in a few but not all problems. Meet on the list, solve it in personal mail and if there is something new about it, give a short post to the list that sums upthe solution.

That's pretty much what happens on this list, except that sometimes it is newbie helping newbie, experienced helping newbie, experienced helping experienced and all the other combinations and permutations envolved. That is the beauty of this list! What makes this list different from most of the others is that the folks on this list seem to be, on the average, a cut above the average Linux user. I rarely see responses like 'RTFM', or 'put downs' from testosterone loaded script kiddies. Come to think about it, I rarely see messages from skript kiddies on this list. Anyway, the SuSE Mail List is the best! JLK
Yes, before correcting <grin> I had this even more extended. Beeing some sort of "godfather". But again, the list *IS* a source of solutions to almost any problem. Therefor, it's our job (particulary the "regulars") to keep that spirit running. Anyway, I foud a similar spirit on the list that I knew from amateur radio and I do not want to loose it. Infact, if I look on our local FM repeater frequencies today, the spirit on this list is much better.

Wow! Another HAM! I no longer ply that hobby, but I used to be WN5VSX. This new fangled device called a computer took me totally away from amature radio.
