I have had trouble getting  help with *nix issues
before, alot of times I get no response to my e-mails.
I have recently discovered linuxquestions.org.  If you
go to the forums the problems-solutions are endless. 
I have fixed and reconfigured so many things with
Slackware using advice from this site. If someone is
having problems with *nix, or just want to see just
how much control we have over the *nix environment I
would recommend having a look.
