For toiling so hard for those Linux points.

We have a lot of respect for you on the HP-UX side.

Stuart,

I heard a rumor over on the HP-UX Forum that there was a Linux guru over here that just got himself a brand new hat. Congratulations to you! Well done!

Congratulation Stuart - I personally know that points are hard to come by over here... Not nearly as many questions asked as in the HP-UX forum. Keep up the good work.

[Jerome Henry]

Soon you'll be a Linux Royalty, for sure !

Hope to be with you in Linux top list (wish I knew HP-UX too !)

Yours

Thanks also SEP for all these 'close to the central subject' threads ! :]]

Really Jerome,

This is how I distract attention from my poor behavior Sunday.

Working the Linux forums can be frustrating, because of the low reward to work ratio. I've actually silently stopped contributing to the forums a few times.

Stuart is a genius who helped me through my early shakey days putting a web hosting business together. I am eternally grateful to him for that.

Congrats Stuart!

You systems guys never cease to amaze me, you've got a real community going here!!

Keep it up,


Gary

[Steven E. Protter]

Yes,

We have a real community here and Stuart Browne is one of the reasons it exists.

I have thought of a few things Linux people we might do to build the community.

1) Let people in Linux know, this is a good place to solve prolbems. More members builds the community.

2) Make the community more attractive. When you post a question, check back and take the time to award points. Take a look at the HP-UX thread some day. You will see that usually more than half the threads have rabbits because problems got solved and the people providing them got recognized. The first step people should do is click on their own profiles, then the questions he/she asked and go back and clean up their threads. Heck, I once awarded Harry Brown 2 points for a good joke. HP has something there and the point system helps build the community. I have considerable oracle knowledge and don't use metalinks forums. There is a reason for that.

3) When you post a question check back.

4) When yuou solve a problem yourself post the solution. That improves the quality of information brought back by itrc searches.

Linux is growing because it helps people bypass the big fees of the Microsoft world. This community can benefit from that and facilitate it.

* steps off my soap box.

Wait till Stuart sees this.
