I'll be honest with you TJ, I don't expect an honest answer in these groups.
I am posting here more out of sheer desperation than in any hopes of
actually getting an answer.

I've been in enough Linux groups to know that the best things they are for
is accusing those trying to adopt Linux more of being trolls, bashing
Microsoft and praising Linux - while offering ****ed little in the way of
actual help to anyone that asks.

Do I want help? ****ed right.

Will I get it here? I don't think it exists.
