When posting more replies than questons to this site

"posts helpful replies" in several areas
rather than just going by quantities
I mean, there might be people here
who specialise in posting
Option Protocol "IMPS/2"
Option ZAxisMapping "4 5"
all the time, and end up having
answered that a 5000 times
That makes them helpful, but not
necessarily a guru :}
Cheers,

Seemed when I first started, that was one of the big questions in regards to Redhat and configuring X... hehe.
Damn, that means I'm still a newbie huh... in which I am I think.
[edit]Ok, did a search myself, came up with 116 threads. Not as bad as I thought. Hmmm.. [/edit]

Linux every day ... but I guess we're still "kinda advanced"
newbies, though ;)
