I dunno...  I've run into some programs that where a peice of cake to
install...  For instance, setting up IP masquerade on Linux.  Rebuild the
kernel with the right modules installed, make zlilo, reboot, run six
commands, and it worked like a charm.  D/led mySQL last night, all I
typed:
./configure
make
make install
./scripts/mysql_install_db

And I was laughin'.

Before I first installed Linux, I had been fascinated with it for six
months, and had read stacks of books on it.  I finally got my own
computer, and was able to install it.

TTYL!
