Re: helping hand! :)

Thanks for the reply. I _have_ actually studied python on my own and enjoyed it.

Just a few things:
- I'm just learning this for the first time:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/z70.html (wasn't sure what the .am
on the make file was) -- so I see I should probably build stuff in a
virtual box.... is that what you (or others) do?
- If I decide to build and play in my own username, I would hate to
lose all my data. Other than manually going to "show overview" and
clicking the "save report" button -- could I just tar up a copy of the
data, right where it is? -- where does the data actually sit? (or
where could I read about this, there doesn't seem to be any
documentation on the project page).

Thanks a ton :)
