I find it unbelievable that a computer user expects to know how to use 300+
programs by just walking up to a machine. If this where a Windows or DOS
machine, would they really expect how to use all the programs on a store
shelves without cracking a manual.

All the silly little programs to make DOS or Windows do what you want it to
do come with the with *nix. That is allot of functionality that is going to
take some reading, but nothing like what you would have to do with other
OS's, if you could get them to do it at all.
BTW, welcome!
