Some of us think that is a good thing.
That was just my piont <grin> I did not mean / intend to knock the unix way of doing things. I was simply pioting out that its a diffent way , with meny diffent tools , and that there is a much higher learning curve to it . Thats coming from a dos/windows world , where the level of hand holding is much higher. To be honest , I tried vi/emacs once , and never fired it up agian. I prefer to use joe at the commnd line or kedit in xfce. The more I learn about linux/unix the more I like it in comparison to dos/windows. Its just that its a big diffrence , and almost all the tools are unhidden band not behind gui front ends. much more of a get your hands dirty type of thing. Thank god for YaST , that tool has been priceless to me. If not for it , I most likely may have jumped ship.That tool and this list have been invaluable to me in my linux adventures.
