You are right... Linux is an OS like the others. The main problems with
some (notice I said _some_ but not _all_ !) Linux users is that they
started to use Linux and they don't know anything in TCP/IP networking.
Running Linux is sometime like a new way of life for some users, but they
don't know where to look and some of them are lasy...
Personnaly I run Linux, OpenBSD & Solaris. I read all documentation I can
found before ask any questions even on a Linux mlist, some people don't,
but I don't care... ;-)
But I prefer some questions from Linux users about basis documentation
than w95 users about firewalling under w95 ;-)
