faqs.org — The Linux Newbie Administrator Guide is "A complete reference for new Linux users who wish to set up and administer their own Linux home computer, workstation and/or their home or small office network." Weening myself off WinTendo seemed nearly impossible until I found this jewel.

Majority of this is great for first time linux people. Unfortunatly, the "Benifits" sections made my gag on a spoon. Typical Linux zealot stuff, tooting open source etc. If you want real open source/security/etc go play w/ OpenBSD, because that's what that OS is target at.Anyways, before I get into a really bad rant, make sure you skip over section 0/benifits. It's not well researched.

Sorry. I know this is _really_ OT, but why are comments such as my previous post rated as flame? digg isn't really setup to allow the community to interact with each other in the form of, uh, "conversational" posts, so there is no way to discover a person's thought processes other than "head-on." And digg >does< inform the submitter that there are posts that refer to the same url and/or seem to have the same subject matter. And, I assume, digg does this for a good reason.But if no-one seems to think that informing the poster "after-the-fact" is polite (or to be accepted) why bother even having digg report to the poster on a possible dupe post? It's sort of like having a "don't pee in the pool" sign up, but not apparently caring one way or the other. A waste of computing cycles.So, once again I ask (nicely, too) why rate my comment as flame?
