Some of us hate it, but we all live with it. It's not anything about Linux or about your computer. It's only about this list. As for studying Linux from the ground up, you probably would hate it that way, but there is good guidance that you would not hate. May I suggest the pointers in my installation HOWTO? There's a whole "Now What?" section that's inteded for exactly that purpose.
