hi everybody, sorry for such a newbie question, but large parts of linux are still a mystery to me me...
Linux is a different way to think than windows and mac. You should really do everything in the console. It is faster and more powerfull.
To me that's ridiculous. There's the right time for console, and the right time for a gui.
Well, whatever floats your boat, i guess.
No, please. I want to know when its the right time for using a gui.
You don't think Pd is a gui?
Well, I thought of typical file-operations then.
Also, what about if you have a directory full of 100s of mp3s and you want to selectively go through the list only deleting certain ones. For me it's quicker to use a graphical filebrowser and select the ones you want to delete using the mouse - far less keystrokes than typing rm filename.mp3 each time. Other operations i find it quicker to use the command line.
I use midnight commander (mc) for that. But you have a good point.
