Hi John,


>Are you experienced enough you could do this for me?
I am definitely not.  I can muddle through the same as you, but I am only a
few hours in to really playing with Ubuntu.  Since I have been working on
DNN and thinking about Open source concepts, I have come to like the
concept.  I hope I can learn more of Linux.  I do not think it is too late
for us.  In fact, an earlier might have been too early.
