It is a valuable source of information. You won't be sorry.
As to one of your previous questions. Â Don't try to read the logs. Google for 'Linux Books". Â Read through the Table of Contents of the offered books and select those that you think would be helpful.There really is nothing on log files! I really think that I might be the fool who compiles all the messages online with a quick explanation, as was suggested. It would be a great learning experience.
That's why I said don't try reading them. Look at them long enough and you *might* be able to spot something but trying to understand them is a long process.
Another place to check is the archives of this list. Â Look there for post relating to you current problem.Of course! I usually either grep the archive that I've acquired in Gmail or search these: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user/topics http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.laptop/topics
That means you have to sort through all the non DU mail as well. Go to the mailing page at debian and you *only* have the DU mail to look at.
Much faster IMHO.
Thanks for the patience and the tips.
You are Welcome. Good Luck in your studies. Wayne
