Don't be embarrassed to ask stupid Linux questions on HP3000-L.  After all,
those kinds of postings are WAY more on-topic than the Pledge of Allegiance,
etc.  ;-)

Seriously, other MPE users thinking about migrating to Linux probably have the
same kinds of Linux newbie questions.  Sure, you probably want to ask deeply
technical Linux questions in the Linux-specific forums, but I think there is
transition value in having MPE users see other MPE users asking basic Linux
questions.

Plus there is also likely some value in CSY seeing the kinds of Linux/Unix
questions you are asking.  The questions you post to HP3000-L will stand out
more, instead of getting lost in the noise of thousands of generic Linux questions.
