this is a bit off the line of what I am answering, I forgot about a question you asked and deleted the reply, so I am going to insert it here.
Daniel you asked why I don't like command line, it's simple, I hate typing out the whole string of junk that is usually needed to perform a task in command line.
I use it when I have to, even though I'm a hardware tech, I can't get away without knowing some software diagnosis and repair methods, and some of the better emergency repairs and diagnostics are still command line, but... I have a cheat sheet that I need to bring up to use them, because I find myself either forgetting the switches for, or the exact syntax for them.
and I'm glad Linux now has a GUI, I hate having to type the mount command before I could use a drive, I just want to click on the drive as in my computer, instead of having to mount it, or even typing out the path to an executable on a drive in order to use it, "one click actuation is us"...
yes, I'm windows spoiled, and with the size of some of the projects I work on, the ease of running access data bases, or multiple spread sheets and word documents along with a few text documents as well, is much to easy to handle in windows (and yes that was literal, I'm doing a rewrite on a book I started a few years ago, and have on more than one occasion had up to five spread sheets, and four text documents and two to three word documents running at one time, with a need to bounce in between them all!)
if Linux can do this, I may change, since for the main part, Linux is more secure, but until I can do something like the above run, and have learned to do it efficiently with Linux, windows is it for me!
