that person only uses the terminal nothing else so does that mean he can do everything from terminal run every program by commands nothing needs to be clicked?
How can i go about doing that with unix or linux just having the terminal and if i need to use some program i just do it thru the terminal rather than sometimes point and click like in a gnome or kde environment?
Do any of you guys use it like that?
thats the ultimate. ***k kiddy environment, terminal is all you need am I right?
You see the 'uname -sr' command? simply... his terminal backgrounds are transparent so you won't see the icons on the desktop and the other stuff. He maximized to full screen...
what I want to do is have only the backround and my terminal when I boot up I dont care for icons or anything but not text based but graphical. I prefer to have everything done by terminal is this possible do any of you guys use it like this? please let me know how you do it not the way you say it clx. I just want to have my terminal when I start up and if I want to surf the web I would just type mozilla it would come up etc. It seems much simpler this way and less confusing.
Im using redhat right now it looks kinda kiddy but ive tried to install freeBSD but couldnt install it. What can I use that comes closest to freeBSD besides open and netBSD maybe Debian?
i would like to know which of the minimal windows managers are most popular is there a poll for this that i can see somewhere please give me a link.
