It's also a useful reference book for desktop Linux users who want to learn a bit about using the command line. Will there be any? Depending on which sites will run this story (LXer.com is not one of them), there will be the stalwart comments: "CLI? This is 2006!" "Why use the CLI if we have a GUI?" "Can't the CLI die already? We've moved on!" "I don't want or need antiquated technology!" Don't advocate the CLI to recent Windows expatriots. They are screaming to get a bike with training wheels, while you will waste large amounts of time to get them to accept the shiny Porsche 911. The CLI is for powerusers and professionals. The GUI is the sole domain for the people who don't really know what a computer is. |
