I've been trying to wrap my head around the basic design of Linux -
thinks like sudo and chmod were totally alien to me. Ditto with the
different command prompts based on the status of user permissions. Makes
sense one you unravel it but it is not intuitive, to me at least.
Starting to get an understanding of it.... The only program I actually
installed myself - VueScan - is sitting in the downloads folder. So even
things like figuring out where to install programs is a mystery (I
assume they should go somewhere in the usr folder...) But part of my
motivation for using this was to learn it in hopes of someday
unshackling from Windows completely.
Thanks again

Unix (and/or Linux) isn't so much an "operating system" as it is an
agglomeration of programmers tools that hang around together, all
striving to outdo all the others with their geekness.
