Done that. BUT I am no GURU! With the power and vast options each command provide, it is so hard to pick out the ones you need for the particular purpose you have at that particular time ... particularly.

I don't even want to begin imagining what I would look like after all those ...

EMPOWERMENT! I bet it will never end ... There will always be something to learn ... and that is good so you won't get bored in using your O.S. of choice. :D Thanks Winelfred!
