hi Justin, I've been subscribed since about Febuary, have received over 5000 postings, most of which are on a box I can't access at this hour. A lot of them go over my head, but I 've found there are some very knowlegble people on the list who are prepared to help at a newbie level. I agree with Jeff that the level fluctuates. some of us dummies also have to have a go sometimes. I've never used Slackware so no comments on it, but I had trouble with star office, mainly in the use of. When Open Office 1.0 was released, I managed to get get it on cd, which had both linux and windows versions. both loaded and seem to be much easier to use. I run both RH & Debian. hang around for a while, Justin, I'm sure someone will do what I did (read your postings on linuxnewbie) and feel moved to respond. cheers Bill
