[ale] What happened to the command line

[Jeff Lightner]

Interesting observation; as an old time UNIX hand it amazes me how often
questions others post about Linux stump me simply because they are based
on people using GUI environment rather than the command line.  Not that
I don't ever use the GUI but for most part if I use it my purpose is
either to open a terminal window so I can get a command line or to use
Firefox.  On the flip side there seem to be few and far answers here
when one asks about Enterprise usage of Linux.

I don't think so. I think it shows how important the console is to a 
number of people on this list.

YMMV of course.
