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.
