I would agree there that they really shouldn't be in the same category necessarily, because the Bible wasnt written as a book to give us "testable predictions."

The tutorial seemed to make it more difficult by only explaining how to do it in the terminal. I had no trouble installing it using the gui and didn't have to mess with the terminal at all. It seems that when people only explain how to do it the "harder" way (in a terminal instead of with pretty pictures) that only makes people less likely to try linux (again-if this was the only thing holding them back) i would think, because it may look too difficult or complicated for them.

You're right! I wanted to catalog all my LEGO sets and G.I.Joes and it was just useful enough.
