List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Shawn and others, I am basically in agreement that learning Linux is something that simply has to be done to get the fruits of it. In short, there is work that must be done to get the system so it can be used. Having said that, we all must also understand that neither extreme really does much good. In the long run, Linux should evolve to a much more user friendly system without sacrificing it's utility and users will need to make a real effort to use it's features. It's Sunday and lots of work ahead for me on the computer and so ta ta. -- Charlie Crawford.
