My point, that I recognized was stated rather unpolitely, is that he
better gets used to the new system instead of trying to bring his old
baggage of knowledge to another land (OT: a source of conflicts and
misunderstandings between different citizenships).
I am myself a Windows user (lately a bit forcefully because most of my
customers are using W2K networks). So I'll keep using Windows for a
while (as long as they keep using it and I don't find replacements for
Visio and Access Reports). I feel that I can manage Windows much better
than GNU/Linux but I also know that the only way to really get into
Linux will be getting used to the Linux way. Being a newbie right now
most of my system management work in Linux is done through the CLI.
There will be time for using graphical tools after I have learned what I
am doing.
After 20 years using DOS/Windows I am rather used to the A;, C:, D:
schema but after working with the file system way I recognized that the
DOS schema is somehow like asking yourself: In what drive this part of
my data is in this RAID? Ok, I am exaggerating but I don't know how many
times I have lost data because I forgot to backup a directory in another
drive.
Or maybe I really stick a little too much to Marcel Proust's quotation
at the bottom of my signature.
