this reminds me of something I heard/read somewhere... that learning is 1% reading and 99% sweat, or something like that, but everything starts from learning to understand what you read... then you start sweating it out hehehe
so Froi, teach your colleague how to read, it's RTFM the basics man... then mentor your colleague through the sweating experience of handling a system :D that should make him a good Jedi, er, Linux Administrator on Q#1, yup, I feel the same way sometimes... and my conscience always tell me #2 but t doesn't always mean na kelangan ko i-spoon feed lahat ng nalalaman ko :D good luck! --- R Feria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > There is nothing wrong with teaching your colleagues > Linux -- however, you > should not be spoonfeeding them.
