Linux Runs on Text: Understanding & Handling Text
,----[ Quote ]
| This month, as another part of the series about using text on Linux systems,
| we’ll introduce “plain text” and how you can restructure it. We’ll see how to
| identify text from different systems (Unix, DOS, Mac) and to convert text
| between systems. The article ends with some examples, and there’ll be lots
| more next month.
|
| If you’re used to clicking on files to view and edit them, you’ll probably
| find some new tools and concepts here. Gurus, please have a look at the main
| example and be sure it’s familiar.

Linux on the line: musings on the CLI / GUI flip-flop
,----[ Quote ]
| People are a funny lot. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. And
| one person’s primary means of instructing a computer is met with disdain by
| another. There’s a perennial battle between mousers and keyboard jockeys,
| and “what’s in” appears to go in cycles.

Geek to Live: The command line comeback
,----[ Quote ]
| The advent of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) forever
| revolutionized personal computing. A windowed system with point
| and click icons made computers usable for anyone who couldn't deal
| with a black screen and a prompt waiting for arcane textual commands.
| But in recent years, this enormous interface change is coming full
| circle. Amongst power users - and more and more, regular Joe's - the
| command line is making a comeback in modern web and desktop
| applications.
