A lot of these types of questions are gems, especially for people not
familiar with the platform.  We might be able to tell people coming
from the Windows world "its just like (desktop) linux" until we have
to add "except for where its not".

Is anyone collecting these "How do I..." questions and putting them on the wiki?
