RE: Hello Linux My Old Friend
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I cannot deal with life without having an open command line window.
I used UNIX, back in the day. SUN servers and stuff.
So, i learned all those keyboard commands, and they are so damned helpful.
(someone actually made them all for Winders... but that is a different story)
Linux keeps getting better and better.
I swear i would have to fight to get it installed on certain machines... and smooth as butter.
It is getting unbelievable.
Linux allows you to do all things. You can go and delete it from the command line.
And it won't even warn you. Winders, on the other hand takes your settings as suggestions.
Microsloth kept bulking up Office, until it was no longer useful.
Now you can use OpenOffice on linux, and it is like going back in time to a nice simple, easy to use thing.
Isn't Tux cute?
"settings as suggestions" you are right about that - its like it does its own thing and does not care what you want to do - you just have to live with it - glad I went to linux a while back
Indeed.
Back before Win XP, to set the network card to work on our network
We would go into setup, click on a certain setting. Save, reboot, go in set it again, save reboot, set it to the correct one, save, reboot
And this would USUALLY work.
