Hi!
As we all want the site to go live ASAP, we should try to decide what to use
as a root/user prompt, so we can than change all the occurences to the new
form.
Please feel free to add ideas and +/- to each idea...
1) No prompt at all
+ copy and past
- no difference between user/root
- copy and past might not work with long lines
- doesn't look like a prompt
2) only use '%' and something for root ('>' ?)
+ '%' is used in most of the docs
- '#' looks like a comment and thus cannot be used
- other sigils than '#' might be confusing
3) "ai" plus % or #
+ looks like a prompt
- 'ai' might be confusing (use other short hostnames?)
4) 'user%' and 'root#' (or 'user%' and 'root%')
+ looks like a prompt
- 'user' isn't to clear ('stas' might be too specific ...
maybe 'you%' ?
5) '%' and 'root#'
+ looks like a prompt
+ '%' is short
+ 'root#' is very explicit and clear.
6) ??
I like 5) best.
I guess everything we'll choose will be confusing for some users (e.g.
windows user might expect 'C:\>' or something)
