They are two different things. As a newbie it is *essential* to learn to use the console, since it is a very powerful interface. For example, when working with remote servers on low bandwidth (in India), you can get remote desktops on X, but, it will be terribly slow to use it. From the console, you can control so many servers! This is also the reason why learning to use buffer-based editors (like vim, GNU Emacs) is important if you want to change remote configuration files, for example. --- | 3. as there is more and more laptop usability is increasing it should | be our primary conern to give demo to people how they can use their | bluetooth,wifi and lan to their regular job (configuring them). | because only then can we expect them to use to regularly...and once | they start doing it they will do rest things on their on. \-- Users should post their queries to the list and discuss during regular monthly or unconference meet-ups.
