OK, I was being rudely flippant.  I'm sorry.

It's just that I think arbitrarily naive users shouldn't be trying Linux if
they don't already have some experience with Unix, or at least computer
science.  Because Linux, despite all the PR, is still user hostile.  To
someone without the necessary background, early exposure to Linux could put
them off free software for life.

Our esteemed poster didn't sound terribly knowledgable about Unix.  Hence
the idea of him trying Linux is debatable.

That's the logic of my post.
