I generally think that tools available under X are easier to use (e.g:
compare gvim to vim and {gnu|x}emacs/X to {gnu|x}emacs in a terminal. It
simply looks more familiar (and you can open many more xterms :-p''') .
This was why one of my points was "Use X-Windows".
Please have a look at the mata site
(http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~cs234122/ ) and read the first tutorial
that is available from there. It contains an "introduction to unix"
(Format: MS-Word-produced postscript. Wou may need to cut a few heqader
lines to make the document a valid postscript document with correc
'magic').
Spesifically: What do you think about their introduction to gdb?
