When I'm home, I defer to M for networking "stuff." He had set up our home router, wireless network, and is the one on the phone with the ISP when things break.
This is a conversation between us the first night I was home with the linux laptop:

M: Did you have to hand-edit a config file?
M: Did you have to hand-edit a config file?
C: no...
M: No street cred for you!
C: (rolling my eyes...)
Since then, I've been trying to get my laptop to talk to the home printer. After approximately 3 hours of research. I finally got it to work tonight. Yay!
C: I got wireless printing to work!
M: What was the problem?
C: I had to hand-edit /etc/group.
M: (shaking my hand) Congratulations. Now you've joined the linux club.
