Thanks for your links.  Choosing the right direction to start the learning journey is quite import to beginners.  I prefer to start my journey following examples first and coming back to theory later.  It'll will be easier to learn a new programming language.  Rather than the other way round.  It'll be too tire easily loosing interest.

Thanks for your advice and link.  The command (rm -rf /) will delete the HD/OS completely without asking a question.  I used it quite often removing directories, subdirectories and their contents on building my own Linux/Unix OS, LinuxFromScratch several years back.  This is a handy Unix command.

In that incident I thought the email deleting part of the content advised by the folk.  I never came across and/or imagine this will happen in a mailing list. I'm working, testing Mono and replying postings on a guest (VM) of a virtual machine. If unfornately I ran that command it only deleted the guest, not the complete box.

Anyway thanks again for your advice.
