Many of the new heads are new to Linux, but not to technology and mobile hacking. Some people buy a device and learn the skills needed to mod and tweak it, as I and others did with Symbian. Don't underestimate the knowledge of users, nor the desire or willingness to gain advanced skills along the way.

I've been using Linux for a few months, and I say learn about terminal if you plan to do any tweaking of your device, since this is the easiest way to do it. To make a point of how powerful it is, remember this. Android is hacked just to give it this access, though it accesses a more simplistic OS architecture than Maemo by far.
I go into the mechanic and say, "I heard my car has a torque converter, what do I need to know about that?"

Mechanic: "Nothing!"

Moral: If the guy is going to start trouble shooting or rebuilding his Automatic transmission, he'll pick up something about Torque Converters along the way.
