Hello,

I never thought I would become such a popular figure on your mailing lists,
be it for the wrong reasons. I am sorry to have emailed you that question,
but honestly I am new to Ubuntu. I have done quite a lot of programming on
Windows, but this seems to be quite a different world, and that is why I
email you even my seemingly childish questions for you to you, as I am sure
you wont have any trouble solving them although it does takes some seconds
of yours.

Regards,
Zaki.
