Good for you :) But that is because you're a Linux user. I was talking about the average joe who hasn't ever used Linux.
Ah. I thought you were talking about "a person who has known the UNIX / Linux environment in his entire life", which I see now was a typo.
In my experience, though, the joe user can't handle major sysadmin activity on a windows box either (installing, trouble shooting when things go wrong, setting up SMB shares, ...). In most cases, even for windows, they turn to a "knowledgeable" person.
