It's been said by authoritative sources that when it comes to Unix nobody is a comprehensive expert. Harley Hahn wrote in 1993: "The full details of Unix--which long ago ceased to be a single computer sytstem--are well beyond human understanding. In other words there is no single person who knows everything about Unix. In fact, there is no single person who knows even most of Unix." And this was writen before the rise of Linux to popularity with its myriad distributions. There are endless variants and permutations, with more being developed and released all the time. This is either exciting or intimidating depending on your perspective. Just reading about it makes my head swim. There is a great deal more complexity and confusion for the Linux novice like myself then there ever was with DOS. If Arachne supported Javascript and could be used on secure sites I wouldn't bother just yet. But there appears to be no alternative but to upgrade to something--so I guess it's time to dive into the deep water.
