Then again, we also have http://plug-faq.q-linux.com/ so if people find that the same question pops up again, pls. refer them to the faq and if it is not there and pls add it. This way everyone is helping everyone else. the FAQ system is suppose to filter out the "noise" produced in the mailing lists too. =) added to that, it answers the most common and important questions. =) Our faq system has a search feature too. If we all help build it then we will have a better resource to look at next time we need it coz it can answer our questions directly.
