I don't think so. The basic concept of 2 was "able to solve some of your 
own problems" and you've clearly been able to do that, even though the 
partial list of resources I mentioned may not be your favorite ones. The 
basic concept of 4 was "has used Linux successfully to accomplish some 
task, so Linux is not just a neat shiny useless toy anymore" and again 
you've set up a firewall, a DNS server, a Samba file share, etc.

In some sense we all are. <grin>
