Greg:

I think that BL3 has a small doc file simply because this linux 
distribution is for people that LIKE to experiment.

We must thank the person that took the time to do this distribution.

I went from DOS to BL3 knowing nothing about LINUX, so I begun 
READING some books and applying this new learnings in BL3.

I finished doing my own distribution: not a single file for X.
I have Links, Mutt and MC in a 10Mby loop in a 386DX with 8MBy and an 
hercules monitor. A lot of fun.

Thanks to BL3, now I run RedHat 9 and Ubuntu in a 800Mhz Celeron.

Greg: you are a user of ARACHNE, and you know how dificult it is
to do the internet with DOS. Almost all of us who still use DOS must 
be subcribed to the Arachne list because of the poor documentation.
 
Haven`t you thought the same when you first used Arachne as you think 
now of BL3 ?
