I'm no kernel genius, but I've been using Unix for nearly 20 years,
and still I feel that picking up the latest Linux distro and, say,
building an adequate firewall, will consume days learning the
quirks of the latest tools, figuring out why something wasn't
recognized, waiting for CDs to reinstall, etc.
