Hehe. I was born and raised in Bratislava, a city in which many people speak (or at least used to) three languages: Slovak, Hungarian, and German, but none of them properly. :-) You just can't live there without picking up a few phrases.

Throughout the years (and I am 49), I have also made it a point to learn how to thank people in as many languages as I could. If someone helps me, the least I can do is show my appreciation and respect.

On the other side of the coin, I have learned never to assume that people around me do not understand what I say, no matter how foreign a language I may use -- I have seen too many people being very embarassed when they made that mistake. :-)

I see. That makes sense. Nevertheless, on my system /usr/local is on the root filesystem. So, I am going to take the chance. :-)

Hehe. I have found I need it all the time. Whenever I log on as a regular user, I feel like a prisoner. So, by now, the only time I do that is when I reply to email. Otherwise, everyone would think my name was Charlie!

You seem to be doing well for someone who has been at it for only 3 months!

As for being cute, I don't think your FreeBSD experience is going to change that. You may want to look up that word in the dictionary again. :-) Although, technically, it also means clever (which is what you probably meant), that is not its typical use. :-))))

But don't feel bad. You cannot imagine the things I said when I first came to America! What a language English is... Years ago, I was told I had the special ability to pick words with double meaning. By now I know my ability had nothing to do with it: In English every word has at least a double meaning. :-)

Cheers,

Adam
