Wow Ardie, that's an eye-opener haha! I think the KLUG OT is a manifestation of the fact that though Linux is the reason why we are here, we are also interested of other stuff that are not Linux-related.
I'm a KLUG lurker because although I use Mandriva (dualboot ako computer), ever since I'm busy in a non-Linux-related job, I don't use it anymore because I don't know how to edit videos/photos in a Linux environment because I'm so used to Adobe Premiere etc. Matt told me though that he was able to use Photoshop with his CentOS box thingie (centos ba to imo matt? kalimot nako, that was a year ago). He actually explained to me how he did it but I wasn't able to do it on my own because I'm afraid of complicating things. I mum at Linux topics because for the time being, I am not currently using it until Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere and Lightroom will be fully compatible with Linux or shall we say more user-friendly to use in my Mandriva. If any of you can teach me how, I'd be happy to try it this time. Oh and yeah, I only have the old version of open office and i am not happy with it but I cannot complain because after all, it's free. (Not that I have a licensed version of Microsoft office hehe but you get the drift) I lurk and read KLUG stuff and wish I could put in my 2 cents and I am one of those who are afraid to be bashed by the "Just Google it" phrase. Heheh. On 3/31/07, Raymond Olavides <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Yeah.. problema lng if mas daghan pa topics/posts sa KLUG-OT kesa sa KLUG > main jud hehe > Uhm. [OT] Then, it could mean one or more of the ff: 1. The majority of the subscribed members are not Linux users who deal with a bunch of really technical stuff. It's fine, not all linux users are system administrators who need to deal with server setups and complex network configurations. Some of us just needs a better development environment to work with. 2. The subscribed members have attained "guru" status regarding their linux distro that they're just waiting for newbies to ask some questions. 3. The subscribed members are linux newbies who's afraid to ask in the list for fear of being bashed by another member or being redirected to "google" it out. If this is the case, item number two should be deleted as it appears that no one is a teacher after all. Teaching to google linux technical problems is not helping out. It takes more to post your idea/solution out into the open than to tell someone that the solution is out there - it also speaks more about your knowledge of your distro. 4. All talk and posts but linux? Then maybe we ain't so much of a LUG afterall. This is the worst case scenario. If we find out that we ain't so much of LUG after all, what should we do? Split the list? one LUG list for those who still hope strengthen our linux community in Cagayan de Oro or Northern Mindanao? and one for "Kagay-anon I.T. List" for everything else IT? This is just a thought and a KLUG MISC candidate post. What do you think list? _________________________________________________ Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (http://cdo.linux.org.ph) Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
