I've read it countless times before, and had a general impression of what it meant. Well I finally looked it up in the dictionary for its definition:

To understand profoundly through intuition or empathy.

Which combined with knowing the definitions of intuition and empathy. The word just becomes that much cooler. I also realized that best describes how my learning exerpiences with respect to linux have been.

Random Quote:

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
