Amen to this. I've historically had the same problem. It's amazing how difficult it can be to find the solution to a problem if you don't know the correct terms. Not too long ago, I was helping to port an application from ASP/IIS/Windows (an environment I'm very familiar with) to Java/J2EE/Unix (one I wasn't too familiar with). I always considered myself a good researcher and problem solver. However, I had an impossible time trying to find answers to seemingly simple problems. I think that, for the most part, I was asking the right questions in the wrong way. As an example, I would search for information about "services" instead of "daemons" and find very little information. It was very, very frustrating.
