Hi Everyone,

     First off, thanks Alex for the answer on CVS.  That is a very
cool way of doing things indeed.  The more I read, the more I find
that Linux as a whole is a real breath of fresh air with it's choice
of distributions for everyone from the command line junkie to a person
(at least a sighted person to this point) who can't get along without
their GUI.
     I have come across a really good resource for the real newbie
like myself.  It's a beginning Linux guide for the brand new newbie.
It compliments the Redhat installation document put together by Janina
and Bill.  I will admit that this new guide is slanted towards Redhat,
but they have a lot of nice things to say about Debian and Slackware
as well.  Tons of info and I've just scratched the tip of the iceberg.
     The URL is
<http://www.sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/>
     Don't know if you veterans will learn much from it but like I
said it's a real wealth of info for us who are getting started on the
road to Windows withdrawl. LOLl

          Rob
