I agree....it is that!  There are some in the Linux/UNIX community 
who'd rather not see Linux become a main stream OS....snobery defines 
this attitude well.  Simply, it's TOO GOOD to just remain an OS for 
those who enjoy mucking around at the gut level of an OS, although it 
should be that also.  I've only had Linux for less than 2 weeks, and 
am not knowledgeable about UNIX either.  I got tired of messing around 
with the StarOffice CD, so copied the CD to the hard drive and managed 
to get it to install from there.  So far, I'm impressed, except for it 
not having any printer listed except a postscript printer.  Time for a 
few hours sleep, then I'll work on that next.
