To everyone complaining about the flaming...
Ok... I'm willing to consider "moderating" this forum a bit more, but I'd like to hear some guidelines on exactly what ya'll are wanting.
Typically, as you've all seen, the same question gets asked time and time again... and a little searching will reveal the answer. However, as an experiment, I will be willing to make this forum, or create a new forum that is "Flame free."
Where you can ask any question you want without fear of being flamed, and anyone who flames in that forum will have thier post moved and smacked around a bit. If'n ya'll are thinkin' somethin' like that will fly, then fine, I'll be more than happy to do it, however, it seems it's going to quickly get mired down in a bunch of junk posts. But I'd like to be proved wrong on that.
So do ya'll want this forum to be like that, or do you want a new forum?

I would say start a new forum. There are a few questions I have bout various linux things.. like etheral and tcpdump but don't ask because I know the RTFM and SEARCH flames would be flying.
Knowing that I could ask questions with out being flamed would be nice.
As far as the flaming, Its good for someone with only one post, to get flamed.. there is a lesson in shock value, and being called lazy or an idiot. SEQ was never ment for EVERYONE? Those willing to learn and install. Now there are some great guides and its becomming easier to setup/install/ and get SEQ running. But when someone cant read the left hand side of the screen where it says Status of RED.. and they post "Is SEQ working?" they are begging to be flamed. This is a community where we do get to know each other(yes its limited) and flaming is part of that.
My vote is new forum.
