First off Ken, let me say that I'm glad someone who apparently speaks
spanish fairly well is on this list and can bail us out of what was
becoming an adversarial exchange. Stick around please, the list
definitely needs such people as you.
Second, to the list in general:
Have we not been a bit enthusiastic about the english only rule?
My feelings are that if we have someone here who can help in the
posters native language, we should stfu and let him do it. If he
gets in over his head, then maybe he can do the babelfishes job by
translating both ways and thereby obtain some help for the poster.
We english speakers tend to have an attitude that its the only
language to be allowed. Thats not a very pretty attitude to the rest
of the non-english speaking world.

We'ed rather see it translated for us if you don't mind, and have the
time.
Beats my history, I was still running all amiga's till '97 or so and
retired it after a drive failure in '00 IIRC. Built my first linux
box in '97, and updated to rh7.3, its still my firewall.
