Hi. Alex is right. Some of us bite a little harder than others, but mostly if we are frustrated by a user at work, not normally the person asking questions.
The dumbest questions are always the ones not asked. And if you have a question, the odd are someone either has the problem or has seen the problem before. So if in doubt, ASK! There are some retirees like me on the list. Many hobbiests. Several pro's that have learned from hard knocks, formal education, lots of experience, that know there is more to know than any one person can know, and are still learning, but love to help others (except on the occasional hard day!). Even though I have various machines around, I just got a RaspberryPi B+ and am running Linux on it (Raspbian that is a distribution based on Debian for the Raspberry Pi - if those words don't make sense, don't worry about it.) Try something, if you have problems ask. Enjoy! On Fri, May 1, 2015 at 2:38 PM, Alex Smith (K4RNT) <[email protected]> wrote: > Grant, > > Welcome to NLUG!
