Well, the best way to learn is to do and to ask.  This is why we always
discourage lurking.  That said, if you feel you're learning things just by
watching, then that's good to.  Just remember, no matter how high level the
discussion most people on this list will be happy to explain the concepts
involved.

I'll leave this to the Debian users on the list, I suspect this has
something to do with the law concerning the import and export of certain
types of software, but I could be very wrong.
