Yeah, just being "around computers" helps a lot to understand programming. Well, now that I think about it, my boss has been around computers for all of his working career and he knows nil about programming (for him "refactoring" is a four letter word). And my boss's boss, too. And my family. And some of my friends too!
Well, now that I think about it: just being "around computers" does not help when it comes to programming. Please download some -dev packages and start hacking -- it's never too late -- before engaging in meaningful discussions about code. Even some Bash scripting will help a lot to understand how to program.
Sorry for feeding the troll, folks, but it's the first message I read from petegn that does not contain obscenities so I felt compelled to answer.
