Argh fair enough, but its not worth the paper its written on IMHO. 
But to the clueless (clients) it looks good! :p

Exactly, but I know of people going in gun-ho and then f**king a whole
system.

No when i say bright people, I mean people that are simply brilliant, they
know the OS inside out, something us meer mortals will hopefully oneday
acheieve :)

Yeah, thats the best way to go! Im wanting to get into the Postgres -> CGI
