well I'm not a programer, but It indeed sounds complex! If I was up to switching to linux then I would faster pay for a mac and have no woories that I don't know those looooooooong terminal commands. Linux looses in this that you need to know these commands. I was listening to a podcast on bct about it and I had to switch it off, other wise I would end up sleeping. those commands have no meanings, It would be easier if those people would make the commands more close to real words like get this, delete this etc. Sorry if i'm wrong. but I won't even try linux.
