Dear Tom Berkley,
So, what you are saying is that because I asked a question that has been
plaguing more than just myself, and it isn't any less intelligent than
hundreds of the other posts I see on this newsgroup, you have to act like a
total as*hole to me? What's the deal. The answer I was looking for was
very simple. So was my question. As a matter of fact I have been using
Linux since ~1994 and RedHat's Mother's Day release was out. This my first
time with LM and I have noticed that LM doesn't do everything the same as
everybody else and I was just asking for a simple <do this>. Please do not
ever act this way again. It is exactly people like you who will make sure
Linux stays just as it is now, an OS with a lot of as*hole zealots and a
bunch of people who whole-heartily gave Linux an honest try...to only get
answers like the one you gave. Sure, there is a Newbie List, but what the
hell would a newbie be asking a question about Glibc_2.2 compatibility and
upgrading for anyways? I just asked some simple, straightforward questions
and just wanted some nice, light hearted, direct to the point answers.
Thank You
Ryan La Mothe
