Luke,

Rather than moaning about the response to potentially off-topic questions 
to this list, why not direct him to one of the newby lists that *do* exist 
somewhere, I mean, they have to, there are just too many Linux newbies for 
them not to.  I'd sugbgest that there might be a Redhat-newbies list 
somewhere, and I'm sure that a search on linux.org should yield something.

Cheers.
