The terminal can be a dangerous place for us noobs.

I recently upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 and suffered the loss of sound problem.

I read some help guide and messed around in terminal, typed in some commands I knew absolutely nothing of, rebooted and BAM! laptop somehow didn't see my grub loader any more. Luckily I'm not that much of a noob and I knew how to safely get back from that, but where linux is concered I am pure noob, and linux scares me.

However, MrGrim, I do agree with you, the best way for me to learn is to use the terminal, and that is something I will continue to do, because I believe that if I did screw something up, the people here will help me fix it.
