I don't know personally much people using linux and between the people i 
know i'm the skillest ... i'm too lazy for reading but i do it anyway 
offcourse and i think i can learn more asking experiences around that , 
usually , are not written anywhere . I have to admit i know linux my way 
which is not always the proper , people experience is important .
I like proxy servers and all their forms and i'm also curious on tools 
like sockat for example and i can read all manuals i want but only 
seeing someone using it i can learn the proper way to look at  ... it's 
just the way i am.
G!
