If a newcomer makes a mistake or suggests something which is a good idea but never been done before by the Old Timers, do not destructively criticise their efforts. Constructive criticism is always good but sheer negativity because the newcomer has a different attitude to established methods is detrimental to the Centos ethos. After all computers always have been (certainly for me) an endless Learning process. Inventions should have have occurred if everyone always had exactly the same attitude and beliefs as everyone else. Thinking differently is often beneficial. Sympathetic interaction and informed debate is superior to hash words which usually dissuade the newcomers from ever again making suggestions or offering a potentially innovative idea. Those who post on this list are probably less than 0.001% of the world-wide Centos users. Perhaps a Centos Newcomers List* environment would nurture a wider and better understanding of basic Centos whilst leaving the Data Centre things, the users of non-existent Clouds (actually just another Data Centre) and the technicalities of different RAIDs, motherboards, peripherals, disk speeds etc. to the main Centos List. * alternative name suggestions: Centos Learning ? Centos Basic ? The suggested list should have the possibility of linking to web pages to illustrate topics which means, perhaps, being able to forward diagrams etc. for publication on the Centos Learning web site. Centos Leaning could and should encourage people to submit articles on various aspects of Centos. Thus providing a continuous educational environment beneficial to all. Centos Learning is not a competitor to the main Centos Users List, but - probably for the first time ever - a genuine online learning and exploring asset for those using or thinking of using Centos (could even team-up with Scientific since it is the same Linux). Fedora has not got such a list, so my idea must be good ! Please excuse any inadvertent errors and misspellings. -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. Je suis Charlie.
