for what it's worth i've asked 11 stupid questions on this list.

1 was because i was not familiar with the operating system,
1 was because i couldn't even find the docs. (coming from windows you would
expect readme.txt)
1 was because i didn't even know how to open the stupid thing..

the others were things like getif and how do you monitor a cisco 675 router
(which cisco says is broken)

none of this was for lack of trying.
