Lacking that somethings feel too much like a do it yourself kit with pieces missing. Part of Linux's lack of documentation right now is just the speed at which it is evolving. Your more stable Unix's that are now being polished for the most part have much more complete documentation it seems to me. I think Linux will get better documentation in the future also. Of course this too is just my opinion. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
