Oh... I guess I only answered one question...

To the second question: When you want to do something that no one else has
ever done,
Actually it has been done.
It's just not popular ;/
why would you expect anyone to know how to do it?
Actually I'm finding much information on "having it my way".
I ask NARROWLY focused questions and am told "DON'T" ;<
If you want to
be the first, then go do that... But people who need their hands held don't
usually succeed in the undoable.
Not is it not only "doable". It *HAS* been done.
An underlying motive is education.
It's really not a "Computer literacy" issue...
Agreed ;>
It just surfaced at the same time and might be considered equally
'off-topic".
It's a "When you can't tell
who's in charge, it's probably you..." issue.

I have two questions I wish to discuss.
Both likely push the limits of being "On Topic".
Is there a forum on which either (preferably *BOTH*) would be "On Topic"?
The more general question
On my last visit to our local public library I picked up a glossy 16
page four color brochure titled _Free Computer Training and Professional
Development Resources_ .
In that brochure the word "Mac" occurs twice. "Linux" *NEVER* occurs.
Keyboarding skills are mentioned. They also ask the question "Does
grammar matter?"
Can anyone point me to a "library like" resource recognizing that
Micro$oft has competition?
There has to be somebody with more "academic integrity".
My second question has only a temporal relationship to above.
For IDIOSYNCRATIC and weird local constraints I am working on networking
*TWO* computers via a "USB MASTER-USB MASTER" cable. There are
"cookbook"{sic/sick}" for "normal"(sic) users with ethernet.
I've been asking questions on a distro specific list.
The predominant response is *DON'T*
Ignoring the *TRIVIAL* aspects of technical(sick) aspects
I wish to do XYZ, That the rest of world does pqrz is *IRRELEVANT*
I have already found *EDUCATIONAL* value in chosen path.
Where may I ask *MY* questions without being told to "get lost"?
TIA
