It's not so much "questions" as it is just expecting things to work, and
then finding out (via man) that they work ever-so-slightly differently.
An annoyance, nothing more.

BTW, I finally found the DNS server (the sole Linux box).  It's an old
486 with 16MB of memory and a 500MB hard disc.  Turns out that they're
running Slackware instead of DeadRat (mgmt said DeadRat because they
thought that DeadRat == Linux, but then most non-Linux-techies think
that).  I wouldn't mind running Slackware--you know how all feel about
your first distribution. :)
