FWIW, my (future at the time) wife taught me how to drive stick shift. That
said, we now own an automatic. I'm glad I now know how to drive a stick when a
need to, but I enjoy the ease of our automatic.
That's also where I see Linux going. Nice GUI and desktop environments like
Gnome and KDE, along with newer versions of tools like linuxconf. However, the
command line and tools are still there and available, should I ever need to/want
to use them and know how to do so.
