I did not mean to look down on those who do know a lot about Ubuntu as they 
are the ones, as you say, do end up improving the os.  I was really trying 
to get the point across that some of the "techi's talk to newbies as if they 
should know intuitively how to do a greb or sudo. This can be frustrating.



I really like Ubuntu and expect to keep it on my laptop in VPC. It gives me 
another dimension in my experience base.  I guess I get frustrated reading 
the list to winnow out the hints and helpful stuff from the too techi stuff. 
but that is the price of progress.

I have learned an awful lot in the past week about Linux/Ubuntu..
