Hi,

That is all very good advice, but for those of you who don't want to 
learn irc and get a chat client and or those who don't really know what 
resources are out there, please contact me off list.  I am offering a 
fee-based support service intended for beginning to intermediate 
computer users, supporting DOS, Windows and Linux.  While I'm here, I 
will say that there are many freely available resources out there for 
those who don't mind looking, including numerous mailing lists.  For 
just the Debian lists, check out: [http://lists.debian.org/ Debian 
lists]  Also, Gentoo and probably others, including Debian, do have 
accessibility lists.  The Gentoo list had no traffic when I was on it 
but that was several years ago.  The Debian list is fairly quiet.  
There's also the blinux list, but I don't have a home page for it.  
Finally, there are always Google searches and the various HOWTO sites 
such as [http://tldp.org/ The Linux documentation Project].  That 
doesn't even scratch the surface.  Each Distro generally has their own 
documentation such as the Debian Documentation Project.
