could mail a file to someone directly with a simple mail type command from
the command line.  I downloaded and installed "mutt".  Now I don't no diddly

A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others,
does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a
proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a
greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished,
when others are tortured or oppressed.
