Linux support (was RE: RealPlayer, RAP, and XVFB)

[Jason White <jasonw@ariel.ucs.unimelb.EDU.AU>]

It is perfectly reasonable to expect a computer user to read the relevant
documentation prior to asking questions on a mailing list. The result is
that only the more difficult issues, which are not directly addressed in
the documentation, are discussed on the list. Often the best means of
answering a technical query is to refer the inquirer to an appropriate
manual or other readily available source of information.

I agree completely with T.V. Raman's observation that people who provide
technical assistance to others on a voluntary basis, and that includes
most contributors to this mailing list, can not be expected to obviate the
need for software users to learn their operating system and applications
to a reasonable level of detail, and to take advantage of pre-existing
informational resources in so doing.

If you wish to respond to these comments, please do so privately rather
than via the list.
