I agree, although not completely : Getting help easily is great. Sharing
knowledge is fantastic. But being easily stuck with your computer if you
don't know where to get help or if none is available at that very moment
isn't something that should happen.

Free Software is wonderful but the underlyings of *N?X are complicated.
Those are two facts no one can do much about, for the best or the worst.
