Ilan, Thank you for the thoughtful insight into the problem with the state of Linux on the desktop. The whole discussion has only re-enforced one thing about how I use computers; When given a choice I'll search for and use the command line tool over just about any UI based tool. I had a good friend tell me once that I "seem to hate graphical tools." Perhaps he is right, more often then not they just get in the way of accomplishing a task. Perhaps I'm just a minimalist at heart. Just my personal experience with computing. -Weave
