simple is unix approach to use. But, you can still make a nice GUI wrapper around all such so called simple things (I don't accept, lot of commands with even more lots of options is far more complex to majority of present windows user population including devs). keep it user friendly stupid (KIUS) is the latest.
At that time ken thompson, ritchie and kernighan can only envisage that only programmers and computer literates are going to use unix (Just like ibm thought there is no future for desktop operating systems). Times change. Adapt. You can not expect every home user to go thru man commands for a majority of every day functionalities. You are following my threads. By now, you will feel how it would be if static ip networking(the most fundamental networking feature for any home user with internet conn) is done only thru cui. with the worst recession in the century, all companies and people will go for cheap options, this is the best time to make an impression. Get it right as soon as possible. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
