I say this because i never use things like the graphical file managers etc and have no idea how hard they are to use for a new linux *user*. I have the dubious habit of doing everything I can on a command line, my X sessions tend to be lots of terminal windows and a browser. And I run Window Maker on my main pc and blackbox on my laptop, nuff said really.
Well, I would turn this around a bit. Having used Unix/linux for many years now, half and half with CDE/KDE and the command line, I was forced to Use Windows 2000 and HP Openview for the Network Management System at work (not my choice; I was just asked to run it). In that respect I was amazed at how much of the stuff - Openview mainly - I still had to do on the command line. There simply was no gui/clicky-pointy way of doing some things even under W2K. Likewise I don't use graphical file managers, but rather terminal sessions; evolution at home (soon to be at work too) and mozilla. As said, sort of half and half with the command line :-) John. -- John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: jhorne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx PGP key available from public key servers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
