<DIV> The best thing to do
is purchase the Redhat 8.0 and with all the applications available you
could get all the technical support off the list and help yourself learn in the
process. I would even consider taking the Linux Plus class. Joe
Bransfield and Co at CompUSA Training are the best of the best. The whole
point of going this route is that you will find more cash in your wallet for
training and even new equipment once you start learning how the apps work and
how you can apply it to your home business.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Perhaps my experience will give another perspective on your
"spam" discussion.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I went to Comp USA the Sunday your group was there. I
was considering upgrading my windows operating system and spoke to two of your
members. Our discussion impressed me, and I decided to purchase the Red
Hat Linux software. I also attended one of your classes but found I
didn't have enough knowledge to benefit (I'm sure most of you can relate
to a class where you don't feel knowledgeable enough to even ask a
question).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>It was suggested that I subscribe to this group where
I could ask for help etc. I'm just an older dentist trying to benefit
from what I still perceive to be benefits of this system. I want to get
it working but am not interested in spending countless hours learning all the
details about a new operating system right now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I was also considering asking about hiring someone to help
me (you students must still be hungry and need money). That isn't my
idea of spam, but it may not be something you want on this group.
Perhaps you would rather just reply that this group discourages that sort of
request and suggest an alternative.</FONT></DIV>
