Things are not going as they should in my country, you might be an assistant at the department of agriculture and suddenly become an associate professor at the department of computer sciences if you have some relatives sharing the same political party ( of course the president of the country is the political leader of that party ) with you, and guess what ? that party rules the country. So where you are is not what you are ! It is sometimes an issue as you clearly see. I am at the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and already an engineer but sometimes your professor's are in lack of required technical knowledge about some concepts because of some troublesome problems.

You actually do. I recommend you to read the answer I gave to Mr. Richards and then you sure will understand what my problem is.

Thanks,.... Even for that. I did a lot of research before asking to this group. I already have that tons of information pouring out of Microsoft and Netscape pages but I am currenly concentrated on Linux solutions.
