This is most definitely not a flame, but an agreement, I find the buzz words aimed, maybe harmless in spirit, but still are pretty offensive.
The command line is the essence of what makes a UNIX/Linux as powerful as it is. The GUI is what imparts its flakiness. I know that the GUI is the reason why people have been going towards Linux as a desktop OS, but it still doesnt teach the users to use the OS correctly, and leads to a lot of security breaches. I shudder at the thought of Linux users wooed by the promise of a stable desktop, without knowing much else, running this OS on a broadband, thankfully the fone lines are too narrow to cause much damage, but imagine the same havoc across a wider pipe.
If you wish to learn Linux, learn it right, respect the commandline, use the GUI as a tool not as the OS, and research research research!
Good luck with Linux.
