Hi,
Yes, but that's the difference between someone who is an expert in linux
systems and a casual user. I would definitely prefer to manage my config
files myself. I've been doing that since 1997 and learn far more when some
script messes it up. On the other hand, my point of view isn't applicable
to most users and certainly wasn't best advice to John. In retrospect, I
should have just ignored the call for help and minded my own business.

enjoy,
Karen
