It's not a disagreement.  You asked my advice and I gave
it.  If you decide to ignore my advice that's your problem.

I can see a couple of fishhooks in the advice you just 
gave to to Russ.  If he decides to take your advice 
(instead of mine), he probably still won't be able to
run ftp.

I think most newbies have enough frustration learning
the basics of Linux.  Your advice will probably lead 
to additional frustration.
