Shlomi, I think that it depends on what is it that these lectures are trying to achieve?
Is W2L was for less skillful people that wanted to know about Linux? Yes. Are all less skillful people eager to experiment all the time? Probably not all of them. The question is what is the audiance? Is it to counter Windows and such so people will know, like, love and use Linux as their primary platform for day to day computing? Or is the audiance potential Linux hackers/Administrators/Advanced Users ? Why not benefit from the experience of another that already handled a few things on this information he\she is about to pass on?
