exe files

[Justin Denick]

I don't know that books are the best way to learn linux. Sure, they're great
for learning more specific things like programming, networking, and database
management, but even then, nothing compare to getting your hands dirty.

I suggest that newbs just give it a shot and see what happens, if things
don't work like clicking on 'exe' files to find that nothing happens, than
you post to a list. We are the most longwinded bunch of know-it-alls that
think we can solve any problem under the sun.... Well in as much as they are
related to KDE anyway.

So newbie, keep on keepin on. Switch to Gentoo and in a year you'll have
this whole linux thing down pat.
