    New comers will not know about alt.unix.geeks, and instead head to Linux advocacy groups. Even old-timers might forget. :)

    You are expecting everyone to be able to read your mind!!! :)

    Setup a guidance website to preach about these hints! And make sure that everyone knows about that website.
