I think he's a TA you insensitive clod!

That said, I agree that teaching that whatever OS you're using "is just the tool of the day, more of an implementation detail than a core concept". Even more so since they're running Hardy, the previous LTS and there are significant changes in Lucid.

This may seem too obvious, but make sure they understand that every gui click executes a cli command. That's not necessarily true with the latest versions of Windows. Show them how they have finer control over the particular action with the cli.

Mod parent up. Damn. I waste points on +1 Funny junk, and here's something insightful. Naturally, two are insurance companies, one telco, one cable, and BoA.

Actually, in some states (Vermont for example) they charge you with refusal, which carries the same penalties as DWI.

There's a very old story about police putting a metal colander on a suspect's head, running some wires to the back of a photocopier, and placing a sheet of paper stating "he's lying" in the copier. Every time they didn't like an answer, they'd press the copy button.
