Yeah, but with all the publicity linux is getting and "linux4windows"
and stuff like that, "Joe Average" is gonna go down to his local
office supply store, grab a copy of Linux4Windows, install it on his
Win98SE machine and call himself a SysAdmin. We can't stop him.
However, we SHOULD be able to prevent him from making STUPID mistakes
by at least using tricks like "./command" to run "command" which is
in the current directory. :-)
