Maybe under a cover name? I think it is interesting to know, as a lot of people do not want to supp= ort=20 him, any more? Or, does anybody know ? I think, that it is reasonable to believe so! Thanks *friendly* :-) Another thought is, that a very simple help manual is needed, to learn us= ing=20 linux and all its programs. The existing help systems should be kept as i= s, I=20 think. I have big problems finding my way in all the man, info, howtos et= c.=20 There simply is too much, and a lot exist in several programs, covering t= he=20 same objects. E.g. in my suse linux, there is netscape, mozilla, konquero= r,=20 opera browsers. Also kppp, and kinternet, and so on. I find, that they ma= ny=20 times to me seems to counteract and confuse me. I am just an old pensioner of sixty som years old. It is ok to counteract= =20 alzheimers decease, but it prevents lots of people using linux ???? This above mentioned manual should use very simple words, and always a=20 starting example with the most important issues, so one at least can get=20 started. Someplaces it is relatively ok, but mostly not. THANKS and lots of regards Signature: If you are afraid to die, please note, that you just end up sa= me=20 place yor were, 10 months before you were born, and that wasn't that bad,= as=20 I remember it. *laughing - philosophic*
