Well if you would open your eyes, you can see even with Linux the old "UNIX 
culture" is giving way to NEW UNIX users that would rather find an alternative 
to Windows etc.

One thing they might not want to do right away is to learn to compile code. It 
is kind of a scary transition. Believe me I started 12 years ago with Slackware 
but I was a little more adventurous than some maybe not as much as others but 
it was a something to wonder and think about. Now if I had people that gave me 
help by saying "If you are using UNIX you should be able to roll your own." I 
probably would have felt a bit pissed even if you gave me an idea to find a 
solution because you are being presumptuous about me and my situation and from 
that statement alone I could judge and the entire community.

People don't like belittlement. and they can read it no matter how you wish to 
give help to mask the scent.
