[CS-FSLUG] Gnome and stuff

[Dave & Ella McMullen]

I don't believe in "evolution" either, of course.  But of course the word
by itself just means "change", and I certainly do believe in that!  Can't
say ab out the linux mail program - haven't used it.

I have noticed that every distro of linux is inhabited by "daemons". I
have learned to ignore the real kind most of the time (I hope), so I guess
I can put up with the "programmed" kind.  I'd probably have more of a
reaction if they were called "angels".

Hey, it's just symantics:").  Words are pretty poor instruments to convey
thoughts, but their a little better than nothing. As a Bible teacher I
have learned that no teaching gets done by words alone.  It takes the
action of the holy Spirit.
