The attraction of Linux for many, Tony, is getting away from Windows; we are just users and any command line actions have to be done meticulously from instruction as we have no everyday need of it and so have no familiarity with the syntax. Word processor, spreadsheet, pictures, scanning, fax and internet are my simple main requirements; the QL lets me do some simple Basic programing. I hope to get Ql emulated on my awaited R-pi, but I must rely on all you experts to get it sorted for me. (and much thanks to all those on to it).

Wow - really the *whole* point of using Linux is the sophistication of the command line. Linux defaults to the command line and the GUI has to be run as a program.

That is what I especially like about Macbook OS X. The command line is a flavour of Linux.
