Interesting when you say you call yourself a \'toddler\' when using Linux. Most people who use Windows don\'t know half of what the operating system can do (when it\'s actually working) and just go about their daily lives doing what they do.
I am sure you know extensively more than that with Linux and if you don\'t this board is definitely the place to learn about the ins and outs of Linux. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or give your opinions, whether you find them too difficult or too easy.
Glad to have you aboard!
My first computer was a TRS-80 mod. III bought in March of 1981. It stared at me and blinked "ready" for two months before I learned enough to type in the first program to make it actually do something. I used it until summer 1985 when I got a Kaypro4 running under CP/M. I finally got a DOS computer, a Tandy 1000SL, sometime in 1989. It wasn\'t until around 1997 or 1998 that I was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the Windoze world.
I still prefer to drop into DOS whenever possible for simple things like file management. DOS (terminal) commands do what you tell them to do and only what you tell them to do, no more, no less. Windoze does what it approximates you wanted it to do within the parameters of what M$ thinks you should be able to do. Needless to say, with that attitude I feel that I\'m at the "toddler" stage with Linux, able to use the GUI and sometimes able to use command line commands without hurting myself or my system.
But I hope to learn more here and to help those farther behind the learning curve than myself.
Oh yes, I also moderate a very dead Linux Users\' Group,
WPLUG@yahoogroups.com. It was started when about a dozen of us here in West Plains thought we\'d start a users group. Two months later the other members graduated from college and there\'s not been much happening there since.
