I can't agree more - in many cases (both here and on IRC) when I ask a question, its because I REALLY DON'T have a clue what may be wrong, or even (in some cases) how to Google for an answer, or what information= is relevant / necessary to post. I do not mind at all if rather than providing a lenghty / detailed explaination, someone points me at a FAQ / HOWTO / Wiki article. (unless im in the middle of a crisis outage)= I prefer to learn, so I can do it myself the next time, and possibly help those who might have the problem at a later time. In general, this list has been VERY VERY helpful to me and I am quite thankful for it. (unlike the list where I had a user reply to a question that I should follow this procedure: cd / rm -rf * ) Thankfully I caught that one before I actually executed it. =20 Hopefully -- eventually -- I'll have enough knowledge to be able to give back to the community.
