Most of us, I think, just want to be able to live without worrying about how we're going pay the mortgage, etc., which is absolutely impossible with $0 coming in. I'm engaged in trying to survive. I don't need a shitload of $$$ to survive, but I do need the ability to earn _something_.

Agreed. Nope, exactly the same. eh? In fact, IMHO, quite a bit more selfish. Yes, because I chose to have children I believe it is the responsibility of OTHER PEOPLE to ensure I have a job to feed and clothe them. Since I chose to be _born_ it is the responsibility of OTHER PEOPLE to ensure I have a job to feed and clothe myself?! Yeah, OK. I didn't choose to be born, nor did I elect the asshat politicians that are allowing this crap domestically to happen. I'm not bitching because I can't buy another house or because I can't get the latest toys on the market. I'm bitching because their collective greed is making it hard for anyone to be able to find work in order to simply _get by_. Nope, what that money is spent on is irrelevant to the fact that every time I see people whining about it they're whining how it is always going to people who are willing to work for less than the whiners are willing to work for. While in your eyes I may be classified as a whiner, for me it wasn't a problem that I wasn't able to 'make as much money as possible'. The problem for me was that I couldn't make any at all. Most of the jobs I would interview for would tell me that I was overqualified. Those that were willing to take a chance on me changed their minds after doing their background check and finding out how much I had earned previously. Right from the start I was willing to take a pay cut, and after several months I was willing 'lower myself'[3] to doing anything whatsoever, be it retail, changing diapers on adults in nursing homes, whatever. I was out of the running even though I wasn't applying for positions that had anything to do with computers. Just because of the schooling, knowledge, and previous pay that I had attained, I was overlooked for the chance of ANY positions for ANY pay, including jobs that were at minimum wage. I just wanted *something* since *anything* would be better than $0. Trying to obtain work outside of my field for digging ditches, packing groceries, and changing adult diapers doesn't describe trying to make as much money as possible, it's trying to get by so I'm not on the street and so I'm not raping welfare benefits. I direct my ire where it is deserved. If the cost of doing business and hiring workers in this nation weren't so restrictive and stifling there would be more domestic jobs, period. I blame the vote pandering politicians, their pork projects While there are some that probably go through trying to make as much as possible, that surely doesn't apply to everyone. It's the plain greed that pisses me off with the corporations, as well as the politicians. How many yachts or mansions does one person need?

Excellent, that's how the majority that have responded to this post feel as well! =) I am a debian noobie. However, I started working with IBM PC's in '83 and later graduated to XT's on the job. The first windows I installed was 2.0 (a runtime version for a tape backup program). Over the years I've seen Novell perfect it's security and gradually fade into the background, DOS disappear, and Windows mature into the juggenaut we all love to hate. If you want Debian to eventually follow DOS, then neglect new users and ignore documentation. Keep knowledge to yourselves and allow only club members to know the secret incantations. Woah, doesn't seem like you're agreeing with Monique after all...mmkay. Rant WTF? Anyone that can *read* can learn the secret incantations. Documentation in its current state may not spoonfeed anyone, and it could indeed be better. You seem to forget, as did the original poster, that Debian is a volunteer effort; it is not run by a large corporation like Redhat. Personally, as a Linux user since 1997, documentation in general for Linux is *far* better than what it was back then. Yet, I managed to set up Slackware on my box (after quite a bit of RTFM) all those years ago. I can only imagine what you'd be saying back then, if you're complaining about a so-called secret society here in 2004... OR, you can work to reduce the frustration and steep learning curve many noobies, including myself and Monique, face when we begin to work on our new Debian box. Monique was complaining about trolling...try to follow the thread, it's Joseph Guida MD that you agree with. (Not to be totally mean, but if one has been working with computers since '83, I would have thought that the art of following a mailing list thread would have been mastered by now (and google).). /Rant Here's a few links that might help you out, even though you weren't *really* asking for help: Quoting HOWTO -- Read this first =P http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/quotingguide.html Google http://www.google.com Google NewsGroups search http://groups.google.com How to Ask Questions the Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Debian Documentation http://www.debian.org/doc/ The Linux Documentation Project http://www.tldp.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If it was removed, how did I manage to format a drive using ext3 during the installation of a server last weekend??? some pimple faced hacker probably did this as a form of geek-like ethnic cleansing...well it worked... Nothat was the failure to _RTFO_ (Read The Fine Options) during the installation. It was there as an option last weekend (in Debian Woody 3.0r2), so I'm _SURE_ it's still there now.
