No. The best solution for anyone who is seeking to solve a problem is to point them in the right direction for the solution.

No, what I am saying is if someone comes here with a problem and you tell him-her "all you can do is re-install" then they will never learn that this should be a last resort rather than a first.

And in what way does this statement justify teaching someone to solve their problems the wrong way?

Ture though your statement is, teaching someone who is seeking to leave the Windows mentality behind that "Windows got it right - there is no alternative to the M$ option of re-installing every time you have a problem" will never demonstrate to the OP that Linux is a well-thought-out OS, neither will it provide any opportunity for the OP to learn how to diagnose and solve his-her problem. -- Robert HULL If it's there and you can see it - it's real If it's there and you can't see it - it's transparent If it's not there and you can see it - it's virtual If it's not there and you can't see it - it's gone!
