well, I should thank you for the console init howto you submitted a while back which helped me alot. It was very clear and coherent, and helped me in my later scripting/ automation efforts.
there were a few funny replies where someone tried to do a comparative analysis of console servers vs. screen switches -but your response, and Rodrigo Barbosa's, both helped me in a pinch.
As for the stuck-up attitudes you tend to run across, just blow it off.
For every person they discourage, I help three. The one chap just communicates that way. Genotype x43a wouldn't have it any other way.

I am a CentOS user just like yourself. Nothing more and nothing less. My document was initially created for my own use, but after I got it to a sufficiently "useful" state, I figured that others in the Linux community might like it as well.
You probably haven't heard about it because I didn't "advertise" its availability in the mailing list. I "advertised" it in the forums, until people started accusing me of things that were uncalled for, and untrue.
Since I'd imagine that the people that did request it probably make use of these forums, I figured I would let them know that there was a newer version available, since I have abandoned the thread in the forums.
I mean, hell, if everyone in the list wants to give me the impression that neither myself nor my document is appreciated, that's fine. I will keep it all to myself.
So far, two of the three replies, yours being one of them, have left me with the impression that everyone in the CentOS community is the same as the jerks in the forum were. I try to do something to contribute to the community and I just get nothing but negativism.
It's no wonder that computer novices want nothing to do with Linux.
