Well, Joe was editing the file as you (Mark) asked him to. Joe seems to be really new to linux and may not have properly exited the editor and left a temp file behind or he is still editing the file. Take your pick.
Actually, I came to Linux from MS Windows around 2.5 years ago. I started with Xandros and Knoppix, then played around with a bunch of different distros, but using all as a desktop... not a server. The GUIs have been for the most part adequate for me to do the things I needed to do. I switched to SuSE because there were certain apps that didn't seem to work well in the other distros I tried. I also wanted to explore the wide varietry of Desktop environments / managers that shipped with SuSE. But, I really haven't done much more in the command line other than running the occassional virus scan or rootkit check.... I haven't needed to. But, as you can see, I'll even tackle rewriting the kernel based on some ancient online tutorial. In other words, I'm not afraid to work and learn. -Joe
