Just a short story to reinforce the above point.  In our Grad Lab
at school the girl I sat beside was also the system admin.  One
day I was working and I needed a piece of software that wasn't
installed on my computer. So I asked her if she could install it
when she had the chance.

She said "sure" and asked me for the PC name I was working on so
I to told her, and then I said, "No great rush, but can you let
me know when you have it installed". Without a pause she just
said, "It's already installed".  I typed the command and the
program started.  Total time 6 or 7 seconds.

I was very impressed (the lab computers ran Ubuntu).
