Yes thank you,
The amount of mailing list is very excessive and sometimes difficult to fathom.
The reason why I asked the question in this forum was that the KDE/Linux forum was inappropriate for this question.
Personally I see no value in posting the same question to multiple lists at the same time and I trust the system is wise enough to knock back multiple addressed emails. I only think 2 lists are appropriate for things I don't know right now. That is like throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks - That is neither helpful nor constructive.
This one for strictly Linux O/S type question such as this one was and the KDE/Linux list for questions relating to the use of a KDE application.
I think I have worked out which to use and when now. Unfortunately every Distro has a wide number of applications and finding the correct audience or list for your question is a mine field.
Unfortunately is hard being a new kid on the block. Stepping out of one environment where you were completely competent and comfortable in and diving into a different O/S and having you extensive experience count for nothing is difficult - perhaps that is why many don't want to change their O/S where they change from the master into the student and sometimes we forget.
I would like to extend a hardy welcome to you for embracing the world known as linux and hope you keep with it. At some point in the near future you'll whack yourself on the head and tell yourself "It's easier than I thought why didn't I get it last week (month, year)". Like everything else in life it's easy once you know how and once you know how it will be a lot of fun.
