This is a great introduction to the Linux command line. So good even the poor fool at LinuxWorld who said "don't even make me open a command shell" can understand it. | ||

Remote troubleshooting of a Windows PC almost always involves asking the user to "go to Start--Run and type in CMD and press enter". You can't work with or on a PC and never touch the command line...how the heck does Windows get a pass on their crappy command line but Linux suffers for having such a great one? Oi! | ||

Linux suffers for having such a great command line interface, because the standard response for windows is to open the crappy windows command line, and the great unwashed, and a few who should know better, think it always has to be that crappy. I can remember a time when I did, and the sudden realisation that there is a better way, and I was using it. | ||

True...the Linux CLI was an awakening in and of itself, so much better, so much more capable and even a pleasure to use. Given 5 minutes and a little patience, most people can learn to run basic admin/user tasks from the command line and feel very comfortable there. |
