Hi - please allow me to disagree... - I manage a lot of systems, most of them running OpenSUSE some running SLES10 and so. - I read a lot, I try to help a little now and then, and - I get A LOT of positive feedback from this and other lists. Generally, I find the Linux community being very responsive, very responsible and very helpfull indeed. - in my experience, support from the community is A LOT better than some of the paid offers.. As I wrote earlier, I'm somewhat reluctant giving advice out of fear of giving wrong advise. I remember (many years ago, when I was a real Linux newbie) I asked a list why root couldn't start an X programme (Root was not allowed to use the X-server, fix it by going "xhost +" or something similar), I got an answer after 10 minutes. But it started a lenghty discussion on the list, if this advise was appropriate or not. I think it ran to 30+ answers or so :-) And a wrong advise can really steal your time. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
