You are right, for the people who have been doing this for 7 years, it is easy. For those of us trying to switch from a Windows world, it is not so easy. I use a wireless lan at home, I have no problem configuring the network and using it. At least under windows. I have been trying to switch to linux and have a laptop running linux. The problem is I can never get the wireless working except sometimes under Mandriva. I like Ubuntu but still end up using a terminal half the time. I still don't understand bash, chroot and all the other command line garbage. I would love to but don't have the time and it doesn't make common sense to have to do things in a command line environment in a graphical world. I just want an alternative to Microsoft that works. Let me learn all the other junk on the way but at least let me have my wireless link to the internet so I can look up the answers.
