I was once a typical newbie. Its been only 1 year since i started configuring stuffs. The way answered was the exact was i was trained by my friends here. Since new people do not even have any idea about this and all they have is some wrong notions about GNU/Linux, I guess it is really good to help them in a very basic way. At the same time, explain them what was done. Explain each command or action performed so that next time, when he's got a trouble with media files, I am pretty sure, he will try the same himself before posting his query here. But yeah, i agree that spoon feeding is not an everytime solution. Compare with how did we start out schooling? In this context, they have just started their schooling. -- Joju Joshua _______________________________________________ Mailinglist mailing list [email protected] http://ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org
