Jim, I don't know what got in your craw, but I would certainly be a bit
more entertaining of someone new trying to gather enough information to
make their system work. He is, after all, trying to bring up a linux
system, and this is a linux enthusiasts list. 

I've seen a whole lot less on-topic conversations carried on for days
here, and no one started squawking about that for the first few days at
least. I think we can be a little more patient with a new guy that that.
