Using a different sample set, people who show up in the SIPB office
during rush, a lot more seem to know some Unix than there were
previous years. They also tend to think they know the beginner stuff
already and don't go to the minicourses.
It all depends on what sample set you look at. I'm sure the SIPB
sample set is skewed a bit towards those with more of a clue (they
actually did ask for help which is a semblance of a clue right there).
