Hmm. Have you heard, for example, that Linux is supposed to be functional without X? This means exactly that - everything must be accessible from the command line, e.g. from a remote terminal over a 300bps connection. Another approach for you to try: Linux is supposed to be an OS suitable for professional use. Among other things, this means that most (ideally, all) tasks should be straightforward to automate. However, you cannot reliably automate point-and-click; you can only do that via a character stream (i.e. a CLI). Why is this "philosophy"? Well, exactly because there is (perhaps) no single authoritative document to postulate this. However, most people would agree that the power of the command line is one of the things that make Linux what it is. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
