The help files (read: man pages ... ugh) aren't exactly the most user-friendly (read: non-programmer) things in the world. I had a friend who lived and breathed Sun Solaris... but like a lot of people who just USE a WINDOWS machine... he was lost trying help me set up is copy of Redhat. He never did like what we got set up, because the xWindows GUI was not like what he was used to.
