Hi Rik,

Sorry if I have offeneded you by not answering a previous email.  
I received several replies to questions, some of these had let me push on with 
resolution.
Others to show I was a bit stuck and that I didn't like the amount of command 
line time necessary in Ubuntu to get some action. When I then found reviews on 
net indicating this can be an issue with it, I searched out other 
recommendations, SUSE popped up as it is a much more windows like experience - 
as in gui based point and click and go.  After all, I guess I'm coming at this 
from a more consumer point of view, I don't want to know how the magic works - 
I just want to be able to use some apps (like web browser, word processor, 
database, apache server and development ide) without having to buy a windows 
licence.  I can learn the 'under the hood' stuff over time later.

And sorry if you're peaved that I ditched Ubuntu - I see you appear fond of it, 
but please don't take that personally - open source is about being free to 
choose after all.

I also see in the Linux field you are very knowledgeable. I did not mean to 
appear to ignore your wisdom. I hope I haven't burnt any future assistance from 
yourself since you know your stuff. 

I will try to stay on top of answers (should flow much easier when the machine 
I email from is in the same location as the one I'm trying to get support for, 
or even better, is the one I am trying to get support for).

Regards,
  Bryce Stenberg.
