Your attitude is exactly the kind of trolling that kept me from using Debian
until within the past year. Yes, you. Katipo. Not the OP.
One of the things which has given me a bad taste in my mouth
for all UNIX like systems from the start is that they seem
to breed a "guru" mentality, and an attitude of "if you can't
figure it out, then I'm not gonna cut you any slack".
I came in with problems, I got fed up, I asked for help and at times voiced
how frustrated I was. While there were some helpful people on the list,
there were also people trolling against what they called trolls. It just
turned me off. I was starting a business, had to worry more about having a
system up and working than having time to tweak this or setup that.
This it not by any means unique to Debian. It permeates the Linux
and indeed all Unix like OS. I've been using Unix like OS since
about 1984 or so, with Xenix 386. And this is the general attitude
of about 25-30% of the users of such systems.
I pointed out to him that he didn't even know what "troll" meant,
but I suspect that it rolled off his back.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
