As far as I am concerned, if it takes a knowledge of the source code lineage to 
tell them apart, then I think that it is fair enough to say that they are 
similar to any ordinary user. I said nothing about source code. What I meant is 
that StreetSmart can pick up a generic "UNIX" textbook and apply it to Linux 
(which I have done in the past), and feel fairly confident that they will still 
get something out of it.
