Getting Help the Free Software (and Open Source) Way - Putting it All Together (
Page 6 of 6 )
Ok, so now you're ready to search with the best of
them. You
can take on any challenge and know for a fact that you can overcome
anything
that comes your way. Armed with your books, search engines,
newsgroups,
mailing lists, IRC channels, and affiliations you feel like you can
decipher
even the most mysterious error messages and piece together the most
complicated
of puzzles, don't you?
If so, then please heed the following piece of
advice; There
are others like you out there, seeking help from these very sources.
Someone
took the time to help you out, so maybe it's your turn to help someone
else
out. And even if no one lends you a helping hand, go ahead and lend it
to them
anyways. Remember that when the pebble hits the water, it doesn't know
how far
the ripples will go.
