I disagree, Newbies do like the CLI at least I
do, and I still consider myself a newbie. So much
can be done from the command line that can't be
done from a canned GUI app. Take a simple script for
example, cp /usr/home/me/whatever.jpg "`date+
%Y%m%d%H%M`.jpg" and cron that hourly off of
an image taken hourly (whatever.jpg)
to make an image archive...it is exactly what I wanted.
Don't give up on CLI for newbies instead mix it
in with some GUI apps. It is really how it goes.
