You obviously have not tried to 'point and click' a few dozen iterations while installing and configuring a Windows computer. That is INCONVENIENT and takes AGES. Although it is not command line, I use keyboard shortcuts to speed up the process. Alt-N, Alt-A, Alt-I for installing dotnetfx for example. No way you can beat the keyboard. Even better if you can use command line switches to forego the entire process of "point and click". A command line version asking 'Y/N' is just as likely to be faster than any point and click too. This whole GUI for administration business is a complete sham imho and only serves the needs of paper MCSEs or whatever they call the latest version of certificates from Microsoft. These guys need to LEARN MORE whether they will continue administer Windows or move to Linux. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
