Is there a little 5-volume *introduction* to it? Don't get me wrong: I'm *very* glad to know there is an uninstaller, amd more so to know that rpm is it, or one of them. But even just "info rpm" hit me like an avalanche .... You know, somebody between jobs could do worse than write an introduction to linux for the terminally-disgusted-with-MS but subtechnoid population. The baby boomers have been following everything I do all my life -- it's like having a horde of lemmings at your heels. But it's consistent enough to risk a few predictions on. <puts on tall pointy blue hat> I foretell that the number of retirees, given time to do it last, who plunge into getting away from MurkySlop at last, will mushroom in the next five to ten years. <old wuzzard mode off> -- RR 'Beartooth' Neuswanger <karhunhammas (at) Lserv.com> Delenda est MegaSleazo! May earthquake, tornado, tidal wave, and a new volcano erupt in Redmond! Lava about 100 yards thick might just suffice ...
