I did not really care what all that stuff meant. My point is that as an end user of the software am I expected to have an in depth knowledge of all of that to run a small program? I know a great many things Internet and computer but there is far more to know than I could ever know in my lifetime. I help others on forums all the time when they lack the knowledge that I posses and need to rely on others for the opposite. Honestly if I could find a native linux app like ping plotter I would be happier, but I have tried several and none do what I need.
