Hi Gourav,

Like I said.. my response was not specifically targeted at you. It is just that 
*others take a cue* and insensibly recommend google search.
However, you were different by giving options of keywords and even the 
suggestion on 'howtoforge.com', which in my opinion is a very good source of 
information.

Now a days google is so powerful tools for everyone, where anyone
can find anything.

That's an issue too. When people get lot of information in a random order, 
there are chances that one could get lost. Ideally, that's when ppl would look 
for help in groups such as ours.

If I'll tell anyone how to do then he will be able to install and configure but 
he will not learn, but he will search and find, he will get 100s ways to 
install a software. This was he will get exposure to 100 different ways to 
install it.

I partly agree with you that one should not be spoon fed. But don't you think 
it would have been better to guide a user with what you know? -- such as 
suggesting few different configuration schemes that one could look in to and 
find his/her own way out.

regards,
anup
