Thanks for your links. Choosing the right direction to start the learning journey is quite import to beginners. I prefer to start my journey following examples first and coming back to theory later. It'll will be easier to learn a new programming language. Rather than the other way round. It'll be too tire easily loosing interest. > BTW if you haven't already figured it out don't ever run a command as > root unless you look it up first or you know exactly what it does. > Suggesting (rm -rf /) was not funny at all.

The command (rm -rf /) will delete the HD/OS completely without asking a question. I used it quite often removing directories, subdirectories and their contents on building my own Linux/Unix OS, LinuxFromScratch several years back. This is a handy Unix command. In that incident I thought the email deleting part of the content advised by the folk. I never came across and/or imagine this will happen in a mailing list. I'm working, testing Mono and replying postings on a guest (VM) of a virtual machine. If unfornately I ran that command it only deleted the guest, not the complete box. Anyway thanks again for your advice. B.R.
