Re: A little introduction, and some curiosities/questions

[Matthew Miller]

I see that Fedora Linux 34 will contain the 6.3 release, by the way.

In the meantime, I suggest to use

sudo groupadd brlapi

to create a new group rather than editing with nano, and

sudo gpasswd brlapi -a $USER

to add yourself to that group. You will then need to log out and in again
for that to take effect.
