</a><br><br>hi all.<br>though this will likely be old news to many of you, theres still an ever growing number of linuxers who dont know anything about comand line, nor why they should, what it can do, how fast and easy it can do some things, how many things it can let you do and how many ways you can do it....... in short, there's just no incentive to learn the comand line promoted anywhere sufficient to my high ideals and standards for the open source comunity. well anyways, this link should provide one glimpse as to it's power, place, purpose and potential. i say that from only having just read the first handful of paragraphs, having arrived there from a link inside the start of saikee's thread about how to clone an xp system using a live linux cd.
<br><br><br>anyone else got any suggestions to encourage greater take up of comand line? anything that might promote better integration of comand line to graphical user interfaces? any other impressive-enough-to-get-past-"lazy-learner"-syndrome learning resources, perhaps an essential top 5 comands or whatever, or something that lays out the entire understaning, provides like a, a, topology~ ontology~ oh dear, even i can tell i've strayed way off the plot into some idealist ramble when i start using words on the periphery of my vocabulary.
<br><br>Linus bless saikee.<br><br><a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/?highlight=learn+dd+command">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/?highlight=learn+dd+command
</a><br><br>maybe now i'll get those jokes about rsync<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; skin; world; star; We are one. No matter the pain; darkness; loss; fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognise this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one.
