Re: Brain dead question!
Bart,
Or anyone for that matter - can you suggest a site for reading up on
what kdm/xdm does. Why one would load this. what it does, what it's for
etc. I have never had a firm understanding of any of it and I would like to
learn much more about it, but never found any place to learn about it. The
books I have don't talk about them at all.
Thank you.
