If they mean to write a great essay on a wordprocessor on Linux, then they don't need to be proficient with Linux. Just writing. OTOH, if you want to be a Linux machines system administrator, then that person should damn well know what the heck is going on under the hood of their machine (as opposed to just button-clicking). Even with grammar-correction, writers should know well the rules of grammar. The beauty in Linux is that as the software matures, people find themselves being more productive in whatever goal they set themselves out to use a computer for. Hopefully, it might even allow them to be creative about it in ways that weren't open to them before using Linux. (That's how I got hooked on code reusability and the Unix philosophy.) -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
