The terminal is one of the best things linux has to offer. Having the entire system at your fingertips is not something you can experience on windows

I'm surprised you have been able to use linux for so long without using the terminal

The person that introduced me to Linux installed all my computers for me, so there wasn't a need to use terminal, now having said that, once in a while I try to use php to call system commands exec() or by using inverted speech marks.

I admit it I'm chicken! but I'll get there soon.

Well there's plenty of really useful applications on linux that have no gui (graphical user interface) and can only be used via the terminal. These are cli (command line interface).

Lot's of gui applications are merely shiny front ends to cli applications. These often have more functionality when controlled directly via the terminal

I have downloaded X-terminal for the N900 and I do try things, ie I have made a biorhythm program for python and the only way to test it, is through terminal, I hope that I can call it with QML, but that again is yet another language to learn.

Its amazing how many different types of languages there are.

You should take a look at PyQt. You can make really nice user interfaces with the qt framework, use pyuic to convert them to python classes, then use python to link the buttons etc to commands and functions.

I've used it to make nice guis for several cli programs to simplify their usage.

I'm planning a program that could help you decide if something is a good idea or not.

A good example of it would be: Should I drive today or not ?

What's stopping me from achieving it is C++

So what your saying is that the C++
(really dont want to learn that one) of Qt framwork will convert into standard python by using pyuic.

Is that correct?

Some good basic information from the PyQt whitepaper and absolutely tons more here on TMO.

Edit - add the link - d'oh!

With python and qt you can make realy nice programs very easily.

For example, try the code in this post. You can run it in any OS with python and pyqt! Try it on your PC and then on N900 for example. The code works perfectly under windows too.

It looks as if, that between the two of you, I might be able to get going with this idea of mine, I will inform you both as to how I get along. Now I have a bit of reading to do, I WILL be back !

Thanks to the both of you for today.

with pyside, that replaces pyqt, and qtquick you will be more compatible with feature tablets/handsets based on Meego

http://www.maemonokian900.com/maemo-...p-next-sunday/

Played a little with qtquick(without python) last week and its very promising.

But python is a nice language also on the web instead of php imho. http://web2py.com
