Maybe I can provide the translation.
You will not find "baka" in the OED, because it is Japanese and means 
"fool, idiot, stupid" etc. and in this specific case me.
I have been called this way on various mailing lists several times for 
asking what seasoned Linux users apparently consider to be
stupid questions / foolishly phrased.
Since I am not a computer wizard, those questions were serious to me and 
the way I put them match my level of understanding (computers).
When then someone demands "provide information A, B, C", usually the 
very existence of that information was not known to me.

That is probably why someone (not on this list) suggested, that if I 
know so little about computer science etc.,
I should not even think about going near Linux.
Yet, I am still hanging on.

About the "baka" - I got the message. Thank you.
Everybody else can savely ignore it.
