Or with the "tech" journalist?

How does that explain how I, a complete Linux noob, managed to install
and set-up my Ubuntu without a single problem, on my Athlon x64 3400/2
x SATA hard-drives/2Gb DDR2 machine? And later to install both Gnome
and KDE, selectable at login, and later add an XFCE desktop?

The only thing I had to do which involved doing a bit of thinking was
setting-up my Laserjet 5Si LPT1 printer and my networked Konica-Minolta
colour laser printer, however both were added easily and with native
drivers.

And although I have years of experience with Windows, from 3.11 to XP
Pro, I have less than 2 months experience of Linux.

The journo must be a total idiot!
