it reinforces the reluctance people have to help you.
When it is not in peoples hearts to be helpful, who can fix that?

rsync is a utility for efficiently transferring and synchronizing files between a computer and an external hard drive and across networked computers by comparing the modification times and sizes of files.

It is another tool with it's list of 'This is how you use this tool' Learning strategy.
Man pages as pseudo technical documents have as their target audience Not Beginners. Man pages are written from the perspective that you already have a basis in linux at an advanced level. Their target audience is PH.d users, not intended for the general population. This is intentional, as Brian Kernighan has explained. Telling a beginner to read the Man pages will only create confusion.

A more immediate problem that had been consuming my time, Mama Mia:
These retards that keep infiltrating and causing me problems hasn't left me a lot of time for learning new things. I have been way too busy putting out fires to be concerned with learning new tools. My learning has been focused on closing the holes in my non-existing security structure. I'm not a CS Engineer and I have to deal with these homogenius's trying to protect their Israel Brotherhood of Diaper Diddlers Union servicing the Tourism Industry and who don't like Scabs being vocal about their Union activities.

Reviewing logs has been the biggest help in identifying what they're doing. Answering 'what happened?' is the first step. When you understand 'What?' then you can begin to ask other questions.

Select/Copy/Paste or highlight all then drag and drop form one window to another has been how I manage, and I haven't had much freedom or time to breath. Infected, Re-installation, Infected, Re-installation....All while trying to find a solution that restores my freedom.

On the Team Linux innitiative, 'Got Root?'
Nope, It's not just a question, it's the solution.
[Solved]   :D

Now I can breath and write nice tutorials and return to my Biblical Research

I know Sedek is typically an Egyptian or Islamic name, but please don't troll Mr Brklyn for things he has no control over, he works in medicine and does spend his time helping people. If you think about it, most of us have no real say in what our governments do, nor do we agree with all of it. While there might be some undesirable things going on, it doesn't mean the Artix forum needs to follow suit. Changing the world is difficult, but we can at least make the part we are in a nice friendly place.

I am glad I missed this...

FWIW -  I thought Tzedek was a Yiddish bastardization of Tzadek... although I didn't give it much thought because ... it could just be something lifted out of a fictional book or the Hobbit or something as far as I knew.

On NYLUG with had Ah Pook...  In researching that handle it ended up being an interesting reference to William S Burroughs - a great Beatnik poet

Well I don't actually know what the intent was or if it was aimed at anyone but there was also a slightly suspect prompt in a code box here:

And I'm sure we can do without setting noob off again...  ;)
