The command line is like language. The GUI is like shopping. Turns out, lots of my highly educated friends aren't all that good with language. :-o A windowing system is not in itself what most people mean by GUI and is, yes, a huge leap forward over plain command-line terminals. I do use a GUI browser and, occasionally, a GUI image editing device. I can imagine that audio/video editing my work best in a full GUI. But my default is a simple window manager (twm) on top of X with numerous xterms open or iconified, some running things like dmesg -w, one with root access etc. I took one look, long ago, at Windows 95 and moved straight to Linux. Took one look at KDE (shopping) and found twm. FWIW, -- Mike Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada
