| Anonymous Coward User ID: 35096685 United States03/10/2013 04:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It sounds like you are taking a course. Do YOURSELF the favor...don't come on here or go to any other board to get your answers! Do the work yourself and figure it out. The knowledge you gain will be worth it! Once you get working with Linux ( or any other UNIX for that matter) you will see that UNIX/Linux is MUCH more powerful than any OS that MircoSoft has out there! The things you can do with Linux will blow your mind....stuff that is crippled or does not even exist in Winblows! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 35096685 United States03/10/2013 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From the looks of those other posts...you might want to take the time to learn a bit of Linux. Once you do...you will never go back to Winblows!!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35096685 I am stuck in a Windows world, but have downloaded the Linux equivalent commands. Get tasks done quicker that way. ABSOLUTELY!!! Winblows is crippled without Cygwin...and the cost of Cygwin...nothing! When I was stuck in Winblows world...the first thing I would install on the box was Cygwin...with an X11 server...I was then able to have bash in an xterm...on Winblows. Next in order was to make sure that I had vi and my ssh client....then...and only then was Winblows liveable! |
