Quite a lot of our customers these days go for TFT monitors when they buy their computers. Most buy their TFTs because they look better than CRT monitors and because the price differentials are much lower than what they used to be. We try our best to convey to our customers the differences between CRTs and TFTs and the specific scenarios when one is better than the other. Some times we get through and some times we don't.

GNU/Linux has grown from being a pet project of a few Free Software enthusiasts to one of the most viable and usable alternatives to proprietary operating systems. It is really amazing to look at this growth and one can but look with awe at the contributions made by countless and sometimes nameless scores of people in the Free Software communities. These communities have been formed over a long period of slow evolution and there are certain rules and manners(some written and some unwritten) that you have to follow to participate in them. Our attempt here is to prepare a list of such rules and manners that will enable a newbie to start participating in communities without embarrassing themselves.
