| 34 | <PRE>Speaking from experience (having learned to run ircd and services from | |
| 35 | having *no* knowledge at all about either of them, I have to say that | |
| 36 | he's right. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Reading the manuals, readmes, and FAQs is simply no substitute to coming | |
| 39 | to a help listserv and asking questions that the documentation of the | |
| 40 | programs will be able to help you figure out. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | It's much better to figure it out on your own, and actually learn from | |
| 43 | the process. | |
