Using this forum as a crutch for basic questions may get you answers
fast, but it means you are not going to learn very well. If you worked
your way though those books and e-books and the articles you find
googling you will learn more about the why and wherefore of these
matters and a lot of supporting and context information that direct
answers to your questions here won't give you.

Yes but then why these mailing lists are for? I am a newbie, I don't
have the time to learn all the things but I have to implement the
things. Yes many persons here told me from the basics too and I
readily accepted/got their suggestion. Many persons, David C, Carlos,
Ken Schneider, LLLActive, Patrick, Johannes Meixner, Baker,
etc...etc.. many others have suggested me basic commands and things,
and that's what the beauty of Mailing list, if you don't want to give
me that, I request you to please don't give; whoever else could do,
he/she would do that part, you should not worry about that.


Tyro,

Don't take Anton's reply the wrong way. He's already helped a lot in your very long threads.

The point he is making is that all the people on this list are volunteers who give their time and expertise freely and generously. If you have a question about encryption, it takes much the same effort to type 'opensuse linux encryption' into the search bar of your web browser as it does to post your question here. And you'll probably get much more information. The best way to use the resources of this list is _after_ you've read the man pages, done a google search, and even tried a bit of experimenting with commands or config files. And, as Anton says, you'll learn much faster by getting your hands dirty under the bonnet/hood of your own machine.

Enjoy your time here, and have fun ...

Bob
