For those of you that are garus , if you do not have the patience with 
dealing with NEWBIEs to Linux.  just ignore the post and let someone who 
does.

There is a number of people on this help site that are patience with 
Newbies, Two that come to mind are  Ed Greshko and Mike Cloaked .
As someone that is new to Linux, they were very patience with me.

Turning people away that do not know Linux like you do, does not do well 
for Linux.
