Hmmm. This is merely an observation, not a criticism. I think it is true of
the *nix world as a whole, which is pretty esoteric to the average computer
user. All those short, cryptic commands and recursive acronyms make my brain
hurt sometimes-- that's what I like about it. The Gurus, Wizards and other's
anointed do not always share their knowledge freely, or are too busy
configuring amanda or something.

Anyway, I brought it up to perhaps stir up more responses to this guy's
request for assistance.

Anyway, there's a snow storm coming and I have to put the snow tires on both
cars. Then I'll go bang my head against this recalcitrant  SGI Crimson some
more.
