Yes, that is absolutely correct, which is why I also said eligible. This provision says they want people who do more than 100 transactions or more than $5,000 - the $5,000 limit doesn't quite seem appropriate but I would guess that most people who do >=100 transactions a year are probably doing it for profit. I do wonder if we would see a "cost basis" field when making an auction to track profit.

Which means not automatically giving the command line answer to obvious newbies when a perfectly good GUI tool solution exists for their disto.

Automatically, no. However, avoiding the command-line in favor of a GUI tool is not always an advisable, or even possible, alternative. An anecdotal example involves my recent conversion of my sister (rather tech-illiterate, and definitely not interested in learning the 'why' behind the 'how') to Kubuntu. One of the things I was pleasantly (and admittedly, unexpectedly) surprised at was how much simpler tech support was under linux. Whereas in Windows, it was always a lengthy process describing a series of mouseclicks and movements, under linux it simply involved "open konsole, copy+paste this". This, combined with the lack of bizarro spyware/adware/windows spazzing out events, has made things much easier.

Uh, wasn't Ruthless.com also a Clancy book? It was one of the few Clancy books I've read, and I really enjoyed it.
