You've got a point here. My fingers do "ps ax" automatically, without thought, and when that results in an error message it annoys me and breaks the flow. Same for "tar tzvf". But you're quite right that I don't care what the underlying software is, at any deep level; what I care about is the interface. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
