Seriously though if the windows side had RAID and GIG ethernet on the

Which is where Linux would take the lead. Two words: "tab completion".

Not to burst your bubble, but Windows has had tab completion since 2K, and it's on by default in XP.


The new bash completion stuff is really cool though. It can do stuff like CVS module completion and filter possible completions by the type of file the command you're using is expecting. If I type unzip and then hit tab twice it can list only files that have a .zip extension for example.

In theory the commandline interface should be faster for an expert. Mice can really slow you down.

If you think that mice slow /you/ down try ratpoison:
