Welcome, Steve, and thanks for showing proper newbie attitude.  I am an
"old dude" (48) but still a newbie at heart and in skill level.  One
word of advice from the old dude:  don't denigrate your skills with
qualifiers like "what little."  What *you* know how to do may appear to
be magical to *me*.  There is honor in advancing one's skills no matter
what they are!

This group has shown much patience with me as a newbie.  I intend to pay
it back some day when I am a Linux guru.   Cheers -- Craig
