Or more correctly - knowledge they DON'T have. I've run
Caldera and RH and they hide it all under GUI admin stuff
and point and click. Unless you make a real effort to not
use the GUI stuff and learn you never really know what is
happening behind the GUI and hence don't have a real
understanding of what makes the distro tick. If you can't
point and click you're lost. I deliberately did NOT use
the GUIs - it was painful at first but when I installed
Gentoo I knew what was going on. Yes there was stuff I'd
forgotten but it came back.

steps outlined (very easily and straightforward I might
add) within
the Install How-To, because "oh thats simple stuff."
