No I was just suggesting that "rude"(which apparantly only I felt) comments to linux newbies from Linux gurus can act as a detterent to newbies from being a part of Linux community.

Oh I dont know! But this is similar to reinventing the wheel.[Something GNU is against.] To a tribe that has seen a wheel for the first time, isnt it better for the world if the tribe is shown how a wheel is used rather than handling them a manual they cant read. The tribe could then develop if furhter, rather than discovering the use of the wheel on their own and then starting on to something better OR dumping the wheel aside because they couldnt figure what a wheel is all about ! Ofcourse, Sandip's point of hiring is accepted. But "hire or I wont tell you a thing, just do what you want with the manual" is unhealthy. Can we call the tribe dumb if they are not able to figure out the use of a wheel on their own ? > The conscience of the soul will help you change and be the best you can be!!!
