this is funnier than that time I read somebody *seriously* introducing
herself as "a programmer", just because she had changed some default
options in the Apache configuration file.

Are you aware that your distinction between user and developer is not
realistic? Especially in Linux after what, 30 years that the world is
being told that Linux USERS, not developers, are not like the users of
other OSes?

Do you realize that you just said that, since I happen to write every
now and then, a 100 lines Perl script to parse some text, or a 50
lines Python script to generate charts, I should stay in the same
category of people who know how to write kernel drivers or AI
applications from scratch, and maybe are paid be good at that full
time?

Call me an *advanced* Ubuntu user, if you must. A developer, surely I
am not. Never been, never could.

If I really could "fire up THE TOOL", singular, whatever that tool is,
for anything I need as a mere advanced user, I would have never
stepped in this thread.
