(IIRC) ;o) <begin horn blowing> I am 57 and installed my first linux distro about a year ago. Sice then I have tried 5 different linux distros and was unsatisfied with each for various reasons. Mostly because I didn't have total control over what is being installed from the iso or from the packages. Gentoo does better than most by emulating FBSD. In January I installed FreeBSD for the first time. Actually, I installed it about a dozen times for the first time. I read the handbook and lurked on forums and subscribed to the mailing lists (-newbies & -questions). I kept acquiring old systems and improving them. I now have FBSD installed on 4 frankenputers and my laptop. I still have sooooo much to learn and to do. I have a lot planned and will try to do it myself with the aid of books/howtos and lurking. I also know that when I am stuck, I can send to -questions and get quality (and quantity) answers. <end horn blowing> I agree with you. The people on this list and their responses are fantastic! I for one hope you stick with it. Keep your mind active and the ability to absorb will not diminish. Robert
