=== Motivation === I come to this Wiki an eager yet humble NEWBIE, and to fulfill 3 purposes: * To confirm that the knowledge that I do possess is accurate; * To gain more knowledge through interaction with the community; * To make it so that people that are picking up Linux don't repeat the sad mistakes I've made - those mistakes that DIDN'T teach me anything but that wasted my time (one of them being: having poor documentation on the subject.) Sure - people learn from making mistakes - but I seem to make an inordinate amount of them - so by coming at this from a NEWBIE point of view, my writing and explanations will hopefully resonate with a NEWBIE so they understand faster, and can actually start to accomplish something faster than if I hadn't written it. With that in mind, incorrect information is worse than NO information, so if what I write is ''wrong'' please let me know so no one goes astray by it. Cheers and may God bless you Sean |
