What made you move from windows? I think the author of that article 
missed the Redhat = Linux / Linux = Redhat phase.  While this kind of 
thinking can make it frustrating talking to newbies,  if it makes things 
conceptually easier for them, great.   The major move for a newbie is 
going to be from Windows, after that any other Linux or even other UNIX 
becomes significantly easier.
