Although it's a bit cutting, actually, that is good advice. One good
way to learn a platform is to support it, and one way to do that is to
hang around Linux forums and try to answer people's questions. This
means going out and Googling and working on your own systems, trying
to reproduce the problem and talk them through it. This is excellent
experience and it's also a good way to "give something back" to the
community in return for the free software you're getting.
