Thanks. I saw there was a documentation page regarding that. I'll check into it.

Yeah, I saw that in "Ubuntu Unleashed." I look forward to experimenting with it.

Not that I ask great questions (I don't) but I've come to appreciate streamlined questions. And, I must say, streamlined answers.

The people answering questions make two mistakes. (not you, of course!)
1) They assume you know a lot. (Even when you tell them you're a total noob.)
2) They leave a step (or two) out.

As a next best option I got the Firefox add-on BitDefender Traffic Light, which gives a little green icon next to sites on Google search. However I just recently was recently re-directed to a porno site while searching 'what do do about a stiff back' on Google (and the site was green-lighted). So I'm not thrilled with the Bit Defender Traffic Light trustworthiness.
