| 1231927 | 2011-09-18 07:42:00 | In my view that is one of Windows biggest handicaps. If anything happens to one of the registry files your whole system can go t!ts up whereas with Linux it can be just an easy edit of a text file to repair. Well that's a good point, but as I said, I'm probably biased as I'm more used to Windows. I wouldn't have a clue where to find the damn config files to fix Linux :( - but a full registry restore is pretty easy. Funny though, Ubuntu now comes with a 'configuration editor' which looks suspiciously like regedit. I have no idea what it actually edits, config files or something else... knowing Ubuntu it will probably be their own weird proprietary thing. |

Wikipedia is a bit harsh about it: Traditional CLI (Command Line Interface) power users of GNOME have criticized it as an excuse to over-simplify the user interface and design for the lowest common denominator. - source (en.wikipedia.org) Mind you, CLI power users probably never go any higher than run level 3. :p |
