While I agree with the "you are not learning anything"
for the most part. I have to comment that while
learing is a good thing, for Linux to become more

better. The majority of users are not interested in
"learning", the simply what to sit down and "use". I'm
not making a judgement, simply facing the facts of the
real world.
