You, you can ask on this list. We try to help people will all levels of
problems. Sometimes the answers go over the head of the person we are
trying to help. If this happens, ask about the parts you do not
understand, or ask for a more detailed explanation. You may get
referred to man pages or HOWTOs for a more detailed explanation. If so,
read the sugested material, and then come back to the list with
questions about what you didn't understand. Some of them are written at
a level that makes it hard for a new user to understand.
As far as your english, do not worry if the grammer is not correct. As
long as we can understand what you are asking, that is all that matters.
(If good english was important on the list, they wouldn't let me on here
- I cann't spell!) If we have a problem understanding what you are
saying, someone will ask you to clarify things. (Probably me - I am
known for asking a lot of questions before giving an answer when it
dealing with hard problems.
