Further Thoughts on the CLI and the Average User
,----[ Quote ]
| A week ago I published a boring little post on
| this blog about the command line and the average
| user. The essence of it was that non-geeks
| considering switching to Linux shouldn't even be
| shown the command line, as it may scare them
| away. Much to my surprise, that post got a lot of
| attention.

The Linux terminal - Outliving its relevancy?
,----[ Quote ]
| The terminal has simply outlived its relevancy
| and has to be relegated as soon as possible. It
| is a big obstacle in the wider adoption of Linux
| among everyday computer users that just need
| their machines to do simple things. Why suffer
| these people with the language of the geeks?

Please Don't Show the Command Line to the Uninitiated
,----[ Quote ]
| Not long ago I had the opportunity to show off GNU/Linux to a
| friend. She's been a lifelong Windows users and is just your
| average, non-technical computer user. She'd heard of this
| thing called "Linux," but had never seen a Linux distro in
| use. So, I gladly booted up my laptop and also the desktop (we
| were at my house, my wife and I having one of our many
| cookouts) and showed her Linux Mint 7 via a live CD and also
| Ubuntu 8.10, which is installed on my family's desktop.
