Re: pLUG for LUG and Pocketbook

Mike, two points......

1) I was not being condescending....I was actually making a valid
comment abt the functionality of RH vs other distro's based on my
experiences with 4 installs of RH distro's 

2) If the term newbie offends YOU then please delete it and insert
"entry level users". I meant no offence by it & most ppl would not have
taken any. I refer you to YOUR URL and in particular this page
http://users.nf/linux/newbies.htm which in part reads "...NEWBIES
.....Like hacker, NOT a derogatory term...............Flame anyone and
your status moves from newbie to toast."

3) If you have nothing better to do than send sarcastic flames, then I
suggest you again browse to YOUR URL , and in particular this page 
http://users.nf/linux/newpage7.htm  and thoroughly read and comprehend
it! This page deals with FLAMING!!

It would seem that you have not read the various pages for the URL given
in your email signature and are therefore NOT acquainted with acceptable
behaviour!!
