Re:Command Line are cool!

Part of the reason that I switched to Linux was because of the command line. The windows command line was limited and I wanted a way to control my machine without having to use the mouse and click through five or six menus to edit what I wanted.

Now I just type emacs<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/location/filename and edit the file I want without having to clicky clicky all over the place. If I don't know something I type man "what I want to know" and I actually learn something.
