Well for what it's worth, I've been doing this Linux/UNIX thing for quite
some time and I fully expect to put my foot in my mouth on this list at some
point.
Overall my experience with Linux (and UNIX) is that it's a big place. There
are whole aspects to the monster that I really have no idea about and (in
theory) aspects that I'm quite comfortable with.
So just answer what you know and ask what you don't... works for me :)
