Ok, I'm not claiming to be any smarter than anyone else on this list. HOWEVER, if I do have a problem I take the time to research and consult the proper documentation and resources rather than relying totally on a group of individuals I have never even met to provide immediate answers to every question I could ever have about my mysterious blue webserver. There is nothing mysterious about it or the O/S that runs on it. There is more support in more places for RedHat Linux than I can even begin to count. There is an expression that many of you have probably heard: it's called TRIM. No one is here to hold your hand, wipe your nose or call your mommy should you run into problems with your RaQ/Qube. I get ill every time I see a "TELL ME WHAT I NEED RIGHT NOW AND GIVE ME SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO IT" post. 95% of the time, a simple search of the Cobalt Knowledge base or the web will yield an answer to what is ailing you. Beyond that, there are unconventional problems, perhaps compatibility issues, or even a query as to how to make a proper English cup of tea; enter the cobalt-users mailing list. This list serves as an extension to lackluster Cobalt tech-support, it does not serve *as* Cobalt tech-support. (though it looks rather a lot like AOL tech-support at times) >;^) In closing, I would like to point out that you set your own limits when you signed up for your first MCSE class. You are the reason the "For Dummies" series has done so well. And if my Mercedes ever gets a flat and I am stuck on the side of the road, I'll call you since I know changing a tire is well within the scope of your capabilities. Also, I get laid quite a lot. Chicks dig UNIX geeks, period.
