hi marvs, actually, there are a *lot* of non-newbies in the newbie list. the newbie list was specifically designed for that purpose: to help out with basic linux problems. i think that's what jijo and xenos were trying to tell you. the non-newbies there are even commited (required?) to answer newbie questions. the newbie list would be useless if all the members were newbies themselves, diba? so please avoid cross posting when you need help. if you think it's a newbie question, please post it to the newbie list, if you think its an advanced problem, please post it to the main plug list. if you're not sure, please post it to the newbie list. just a suggestion, -eric -- �.--. �Enrique D.
