Right.  I was not intending to denigrate amateurs or Linux.

I started with Linux but moved on to FreeBSD when I realized Linux
performed poorly when heavily loaded with concurrent disk, network,
and serial I/O.

Linux is a good as a UNIX learning tool and a place for newbies to
start.  If they cut their teeth on Linux, we won't be inundated by a
horde of newbies who know next to nothing about UNIX.
