The Have Mercy page.
I get mail from guru *nix friends with comments
about this
site.
Luckily, till now these messages are quite polite,
stating
some misspelled (at best) or misinforming (at worst)
definitions as well as theoretical approach.
I have to say that the procedure of learning how to
understand and operate a Unix system can not escape
from an "academic" approach, although I have tried
to avoid
that with all my strength.
Terms like "Gui Services" or "Internet Connection
Sharing"
are incorrect because they don't really mean
anything,
considering the technology that is used to create
these
fine mechanisms.
But they are simple to understand, so they will be
used
when simplicity is necessary.
Hard mistakes are corrected fast.
Some others, like "read only" etc. attributes need
some
time for me to define them right in the "Unix"
language.
Thank you and keep in mind this, whatever you do.

Please state your explanations in a complete way, so
