| 394589 | 2005-10-10 08:49:00 | i dont feel too confident with just command prompt window and no GUI and then i OS expecting me to type in all these commands i have to know. i like the odd live distro, good to have a wee noisy with them. im setting up a smoothwall server so that will be interesting :thumbs: |

| 394590 | 2005-10-10 09:14:00 | I've got more comfortable with the command prompt, as I've gone along. I find copying & pasting works well and also using the up arrow key to find a previous command. But I come from a GUI background, so it's been an effort to change my habits. But in saying that, once I've got the installation up & running, with, say, KDE, I'd probably revert back to the GUI for day to day stuff and then for tweaking and configuring I'd use the command line (of course). I've found Nano as an editor a real dream to use, compared to my experiences with vi a couple of years ago. But that's just my opinion; nano comes with the Gentoo installation, so that's the one I used. I don't memorise too many commands (I am getting better though) and I usually have the handbook handy as a reference - either on line or the one I printed out. All the best with Smoothwall, that would be an interesting project. |
