JaseP, you are preaching to the already converted.
I started out with w98se, and had it mastered after one year of using it.
I've been using Linux for about one year now, and every day I'm
amazed at how superior an os it is over windows.
Also, I don't have a problem with the existence of the console, and with people prefering to use it over guis.
I simply think that Linux will always intimidate the weak and apathetic masses as long as the specter of the console looms over it, and that M$ will always profit by that.
And bvc, sorry but I totally disagree.
You may be a priviledged motivated and intelligent individual who has no problem getting off your butt and learning, but it is not the case with the average Joe. M$ knows that all too well, and exploits it as much as it can.
When it comes to a choice between the command line and lots of buttons, Joe Public will always prefer buttons.
In fact, the more buttons there are, the happier he will be.
As for me, I want my computer to be my slave. Not I to it. So yes! Buttons, buttons and more buttons! (and pretty blinkin' lights too, while we're at it)
Now, can I have my simple question answered please.
Can I safely remove unwanted software with Kpackage (that's Kpackage, not Software Manager), if I make sure that Kpackage does not check for dependencies?
Thank you.
