Sorry for the confusion.
At the shell/commandline level, I know my way around a lot. Been
doing that for 12+ years.
On the gcc/programming/compiling level, I know "configure" and "make"
and "make install".... if that doesn't work, I'm hosed.
Sorta like being a good driver but having no idea what to do under
the hood of a car :-)
I started using zsh back in the day because I had a friend who was a
programmer who taught me how to do a lot with it back when t/csh was
what most people were using and I was trying to write scripts, etc.
Have used it ever since.
