[dba-Tech] Linux Newbie in Distress

ROTFLMAO.   

Genius and experience are two entirely different things.  At 53 years old I
have a lot of experience and so can do stuff (in my area of expertise) fast
enough that it perhaps APPEARS to be genius.  'Tis not I assure you.

What I have discovered however is that one does not have to be a genius to
make a contribution, which is lucky for me.

Ah John, always the optimist with the "bon mot"! <grin> 

Of course, if we were setting up Windows from scratch, we would be having
similar issues.  I suppose it is a good thing, though, to get down this much
closer to the foundations of an OS and learn what really goes on.  I need to
know this stuff, so I will learn it.  Then, I'll trade you knowledge for
knowledge.  Every time you describe a new setup with virtual machines inside
virtual machines processing millions of records in seconds, or you craft
some brilliant solution to a database problem, I quietly salute you and
dream of the day when I know what you know.  It tickles me silly on the odd
occasion when I know something you don't and I get to share it with you.
You and the other genius gurus on this list are my heroes.
