Not sure if this thread was supposed to end up being a humorous read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I don't envy anyone that runs into problems with software and/or computers at least this isn't Stack Overflow...
Yes and that's a point worth taking note of, but not everyone learns from the manual. Some learn by example, some from books, others hands-on or the such.
Assuming Read the F---ing Manual is given, there's still no grounds or basis for negative comments and bashing.
Yes this is a Slackware forum, but providing help and support is the basis of this entire website. It shouldn't matter who read the manual, glaced at it, ate it, printed it out and wiped their rear with it, or rolled it up and smoked it. People need to stop acting like they have a sharpened stick shoved up their posteriors and help others. No one wants the zealot on the high horse. People want people.

I'll be so bold to make a categorical assertion here. You learn system administration by 1) reading 2) experimenting 3) writing your own digest. And I don't mean 1 or 2 or 3, I mean 1 and 2 and 3.
