Hello, I have been subscribing to this email for sometime hoping to get the following: - assistance with some Linux questions or troubleshooting with installations or operations; (for example; dual boot installing of Caldera Open Linux 2.3 to a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop with Win98-II). - a professional atmosphere to help promote Linux to what I believe is one of its strongest advantages: that is its use as a low cost and reliable business alternative to some server functions (i.e. a DNS server) over NT or HP Unix. - and a general peer to peer professional help or alliance group for IT professionals. What I have found, is somewhat less then hoped for climate. True there are those who seek out to help others in a professional manner. True, there is some good to gain from the emails, as long as they answer or attempt to answer your technical questions. However, the increased highly opinionated responces painted with, shall we say, very colorful vocabulary, reduces the value of this service and professionalism. Please don't waist your time responding with your own colorful responce to this; I will just delete them without reading them. In closing, I would like to thank those who agree with the opinions expressed here and those who seek to assist others. For the vocabulary-colorful-geeks-with-a-Linux-LAN-in-the-basement-who-never-had-the-sun-in-their-face-outdoors blasting all the 4,8,& 12 letter phrases with or without ASCII characters replacing certain letters; well shutdown your systems, get outdoors, get a life, and get a real job. I'll Unsubscribe to this and replace this email service with continued studies toward certification and subscriptions to a real professional service as I embark on a Unix career from NT and Novell. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
