[TriLUG] essential Linux skills?

[David W. Aquilina]

You may also wish to spend a short amount of time on what's considered acceptable and desireable behavior on the net. For better or worse, Linux users tend to be more sensitive to such things as, for example, HTML e-mail. As it so happens, your most recent message is HTML and looks like this in my mail reader of choice:

While it's certainly possible to manually parse all that, many aren't going to think it's worthwhile doing so and will ignore your message. 

If you're going to recommend your students utilize forums/IRC channels/mailing lists/etc for help, I'd strongly suggest having them read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html as well. 

kind regards,
