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.
