I'm -1:

- 'rm', 'mv', and 'cp' correspond to operations they're familiar with from GUIs

- the syntax of 'find' is truly awful...

- ...and 'grep' isn't much better

Thx,
G

Hmm, it may be interesting. In my experience, people don't really get the 
benefits of the command line interface with cp, rm et al, so maybe showing 
first something they can't do (easily) using the graphical interface is worthy.

Hi all,

what do you think of teach grep and find before rm, mv and cp?

 From my experience, students really like discovery grep and find
but sometimes we don't cover it due time constrains.

Cheers,
Raniere
