I've been reading up heavily from the recommended readings posted previously (many thanks) but still feel woefully inadequate in actually getting any hands-on experience (and making progress) with my SuSe Linux. I've had very limited success in attempting to emulate some of the exercises shown in the literature..and there is a limit to how long I am prepared to spend constantly hitting my head against a never ending brick wall...the wall will eventually break...but will I be conscious enough to know that I am through?
Being new to CLUG events / posts I still don't have a grasp on what CLUG's 'remit' is in respect to introducing newbies to Linux: Is it's main function to bounce 'How to info..' Is it just a group of highly skilled techies, for techies...talking techie stuff? Does it desire to grow financially / physically through the introduction of new members? Has a structured introduction program ever been considered? Is Google the answer to everything? The reason for asking such questions is that as a Newbie I have needs that are significantly different to those of 'established' CLUG members. I do not wish to enflame or harrass the existing CLUG membership...yet I do wish to develop my Linux skill set. In reviewing a number of posts I have to question whether or not CLUG is the correct medium for me to achieve my desired goal... Comments?.... Regards Ralph Would have liked to attend tonight but unfortunately I've been roped into a Korfball Referee's course for the next two Thursday nights.
