I interpreted the description as tongue in cheek - not meant to be taken seriously. I've been using linux for years and still ask "stupid" questions. The forums should be there for stupid questions, and a search tool is always useful because usually it's the stupid questions that are hardest to find an answer to. Dugg.
oh Ubuntu...you'll never be the OS you want to until your core users get their heads out of their asses. Making things more user friendly doesn't mean you have to dumb down your OS. It is like there is an internal tug of war between making things more Windows/OSX like and keeping things *nixy.I dugg it regardless. I've given Ubuntu 3 tries and spent hours in the forums trying to config graphics and wireless cards.
