[GRASSLIST:2779] mailing list for beginners

[samuel cavalcante]

hi all....
i am a newbie n the linux and opensource world so i am having some typical 
beginners difficulties even in install or compile grass...
i think that interest in grass ( and in open source in general) is growing 
and so you have to prepare yourselves to receive more and more newbies in 
this list...
why not create a beginners mailing list?
i am expending some weeks trying to run nviz but i always fail...(so, maybe 
it must be writen a "grass for dummies" for people like me...)...the error 
mesages are driving me insane (laughs)...
well...meanwhile i try to learn  grass without nviz...maybe some day i'll 
see it running
thnks
samuel
