Of course there are plenty people, but they have prior experience. If you have no prior experience, then you should not build a system from scratch, when you don't even know what a working system is supposed to look like. Instead, your time is better spent learning from a system that already works. In other words, start with a pre-built distribution. Have a wonderful learning experience. And please ignore the idiots on this list who say that you are stupid. Wietse
