Phantom,

no question is too dumb in the linux community except the one that goes unasked as I am sure that you have no doubt learned in your posts.

Keep on using Linux and watch your knowledge grow, you might even gain a few IQ points.

In 1985 - 1986 I wrote code that lived in a 16 bit Xenix kernel. That was interesting. I believe that I still qualify as a Linux newbie. Now my XP machine power supply wiped out both HDDs and mother board so now the decision is Linux or Vista. The bloat is the #1 reason for me to switch.

Also use one laptop to tune fuel injection and electronic ignition modules. Using Linux for 7 months and I'm self taught. Using computers for 1 1/2 years.
