	Can someone recommend a good course for persons with
grown minds in the Vienna area? Or a tutor I might be able
to afford?

	I had thought, having taught myself various foreign
languages including Finnish, that I ought to be able to
teach myself linux.

	But either an antediluvian degree in pure
mathematics is a lot less use than a little initial help
from a native speaker, or something else is wrong. Half a
dozen fat expensive manuals, a second hard drive, and three
years of puttering haven't come to much. (For one thing,
books don't repartition one another!)

	I seem to have hit a catch-22 situation, where
everything I need to do requires learning all about
something else I don't even know where to find, and I'm
getting discouraged. I think I need to start over, and go at
things in some sort of rational sequence, with somebody to
steer me away from cliffs occasionally -- or throw me a
rope.

	Suggestions??

Better to be a gamma geek with linux --
if I can ever learn enough of it to use --
than an alpha nerd chained to muckeyslop.
