I also forgot to add that linux-noob.com has a dedicated bot on IRC (thanks Flukex), this bot will peek linux-noob.com's RSS feed once a minute and if a member makes a new post in the 'how do i' section, it will be linked within one minute flat on the live IRC channel (EFNET server, #linux-noob)
this is a GREAT feature of this site and usually gets answers fast for our members
and this is a FYI (for your attention)
you see those PIPS beside your login name ? if you wanted to know what they mean, and how many=how you are doing here then have a look at the attached screenshot
