No Jonathan, this list is just littered with rude AHoles!

I too had my throat slit a few years ago here as well, instead of a nice
prod in the right direction people have to be jerks.

I am sorry, but the replies are VERY rude.  Could we have been a little nicer to
the guy?  For crying out load some of this crap is greek to people and
searching the archives is not always the easiest to to.  Reason I quit
posting here is exactly because of this type of attitude!

You know Sun markets these servers as the "No knowledge needed"
server appliance, maybe this was one person that got caught in that
trap.  Rather you be helpful and suggest he read some books, you
rip this poor guy.

Maybe he honestly did not know.
