Hello guys Please accept my apology if I somehow disrespected the essence of this forum. @Praveen: I am extremely sorry if I appeared to be spoon feeding you. I respect you as a matured guy. I was only trying to give quick lines for brainstorming. @Ashwin: I am thankful to you realise me my mistakes and to evolve as a better human. I would like to just clear my doubts that Is Linux is only for hackers or being hacker? May not an everyday computer user use Linux? My knowledge is still limited to that of a novice, Apology for any mistake. -- Thanks & Regards --- R.
