Well, I find myself constantly going into the command line and starting off with the customary -sudo gainroot in my n810. Be it changing MAC addresses, power profiles as someone stated, changing button mappings (run-standalone.sh!! took me forever to figure that one out), etc, etc. As for desktop, anytime I install a Linux OS in Virtualbox, the first thing I have to do is go to the command line and install the Virtualbox guest additions from the command line, because I can't double click it nor right click and run as admin (ty Windows).

The Windows Registry is a mess, it should have been junked a long time ago, they just keep it for backward compatibility, as if Vista was ever backward compatible with XP. At least its a GUI, I don't have to go to the command line and type --regedit /newkey HKLM/Software/....etc.


That's exactly how I feel when I go into the command line, like I'm using something from the 90's.

And with that I think I'm officially exiled from the Linux/Unix/Maemo/GNU/ARM/etc. community. I hate Vista, so I guess that only leaves me with XP to send my asylum application to.
