In a sense, it's like needing to take the mystery out of certain subjects like domain names services, or how to re-reoute mail or set up and use a database. Some will want to set up secure zones in their homes or perhaps manage a development project etc.

Whatever the next step for expression in technology may be for someone, they need an OS like Linux to take the next step. Being a better spreadsheet developer may be fine for someone in accounting or management too. But even that gets old.
