Doug,

I maybe way ahead of you, but only because I like to diddle, install new 
apps to see how they work, if I like them, I'll keep them, or 
delete...I've been a Ham Operator for 35yr's, I've enjoyed building 
electrical projects, and watch them work via my own homebrew computers*...

*One thing I do when someone mentions how to find out what your system 
has by using all of the different linux commands, I have saved those for 
future reference...Since it is hard to remember them, it's a good 
practice to do, this is very helpful...*

*Oh I also have reinstalled Ubuntu because I had messed up something, 
and could not figure it out, but later after doing so I did find out but 
it was to late, since I had reinstalled it...

So what I am trying to say is hang in there, play around with your Linux 
system, if something does go wrong, ask, just maybe someone has the 
answer...If not, keep working on it, the problem fix is out there, it 
just takes time...

As for asking a question, and you do not get an answer, try posting it 
again, I've posted a problem, and have had only one, or two people try 
to help me, so your comment, >>> *"I end up with people who want to act 
like I wasn't invitited to the Linux "party" *This attitude I have not 
really seen here on this list, but have on other lists, for which I 
ignore...No this is not an "*exclusive club" *as you mentioned, but a 
way to help others if you can...

At any rate I could go on & on, but I will get off of my soapbox for now...

It's a learning curve for all of us, so hand in there, my friend you'll 
get it, I am sure...

Larry
