VaKo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 http://www.fedorafaq.org/ http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/fc6-tips.php Use the command line as much as you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyrancher82 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 *sigh*. 'Use the command line', is the worst suggestion ever. Use the best method that gets the task done. Using the command line doesn't make you cool, it makes you a poser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deveant Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 hmm but it does allow for most customability (so not a word) ive found this specialy working with server side programs, ie. Apache, MySQL. that i can do a lot more if i use the source than if i use the rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 No. If you do everything via a gui, you end up needing it. Then when you have a problem, your stuck. Plus, its faster, more flexible and the concept is more apparent. Why does it make you a poser to try learning a bit more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 In windows you use the GUI because you need to, everything is done from the GUI in windows. In linux you use the command line everything is done from the command line. In windows you have a half assed command line, and in Linux you have a half assed GUI. If you had the GUI of windows and the Command line of linux I'd take that OS in a nano second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uber_tom Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 *sigh*. 'Use the command line', is the worst suggestion ever. Use the best method that gets the task done. Using the command line doesn't make you cool, it makes you a poser. quite right, the GUI does make it easyer to grasp /dev/ concepts (as opposed to D:, C: and such). lets face it a simple click beats typing 'mount -o loop /home/$USER/myiso.iso /media/dvd' personally i didn't learn any command line options til about 6 months after i started using linux. 1337 is 1337, but there is such a thing as learning to walk before you run. C: C:DOS C:DOSRUN RUNDOSRUN As for any tips; I would have to say make sure you install source packages, this will make it easier if you ever compile programs.
