LOL!
hm … im using it since ‘96 …
until 2002 i was using only the terminal (no X)
my opinion is that in 2012 linux will be a better desktop than all others … but still we’ll use the power shell !
in my world nothing can be done without shell …
im using kde and on desktop No.1 there is konsole opened and nothing more …
usefull shortcut: alt-f2
and my suggestion for terminal addicted… usefull app: yakuake
they will understand …
beauty is taking valuable processor cycles …
bash will win …
low energy green friendly interfaces …
me@linux:~$
the world is becoming a free place finally and linux/open source will play one of the main roles…
that’s how I see things with linux…
great ideas live forever!
