[H-ADMIN] Still trying to learn Linux!

[matt]

Hi Russell,
I live at Redcliffe/Kallangur way. Didn't see his email unless this is 
the guy that sent email on the 20th of January in which case the reason 
I didn't respond was due to not being on the LA list. I only know about 
the email because Mark pointed it out to me then said you had replied 
before I could and it looked all good.
