The tutor is for my son. I have managed to keep our two computers up to date -- am now running Ubuntu 6.04. I want to teach more to my son, but am getting beyond my abilities. I have some administrative work ... I need to share resources, find some drivers ... then move onto setting up an email server. From there I have some applications I want to start setting up, like a video editor and ham radio apps. Thanks for the links, they are new to me. I had problems with IRC, which I have not used before. I made it to http://freenode.net/faq.shtml I got NickServ to look like it was alive in GAIM. However, in the previous link, the section about registering said this: Register your IRC nick: */msg nickserv register <your-password>* and I don't know what to do with this. Can you send this to NickServ through GAIM?? Also, the command seems to be registering a nickname ... but the register command is followed only by a password ... no mention of username/nickname. Thanks, Doug
