or RTFM even.......
The list is certainly a lot "friendlier." I can remember a couple of
years ago when I was almost scared to ask a question, because inevitably
it would provoke an RTFM or something along the lines of a contemptuous
sneer. Down to one person especially, if I remember
rightly..........(who is now gone).
It isn't always that easy to sort through the information you get from
google or a man page - I'm intelligent (Ithink!), well educated, to PhD
level, but not in anything computer related (I'm a gynaecologist!!) but
I get lost sometimes trying to figure out man pages, scripts, etc.
Nonetheless, there are many people like me who want to use Linux and
learn about it but just need some help - even after using SuSE for about
5 years, I still get in a fix sometimes. It's not always easy knowing if
something has been discussed on the list - try searching the archives
manually: it's long and tedious, so it is tempting just to post.
Yes, people need to be told to RTFM and do a bit of work, but they
sometimes also need a bit of slack and understanding, especially from
those to whom all of this is second nature.
