And I thought I was a nerd....
This may not make a lot of sense to my non-nerd readers :-)

Date: 2008-01-22 05:59 am (UTC)As for Linux, I think I need to clock a few more hours in Mac's command line before even considering it. Although I have been research FreeBSD of late (Yeah, it's not linux), and I've been researching the Tanenbaum-Torvalds debate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanenbaum-Torvalds_debate).

Date: 2008-01-22 06:17 am (UTC)I spent many years writing code on various Linux boxes. Mostly running Debian, which is very low end. All the desk top linux installations annoy me a fair bit - I still have my FVWM setup from 1995. I should play with the Mac OS some more, I have three friggin' Mac's at home!
(Note to self: pay your cousin for the Cube you slack bastard.)

Re: Vim
Date: 2008-01-22 06:14 am (UTC)Vi commands do have the look of line noise to the uninitiated. Why do I need to hit escape to edit stuff???
What's really scary is I just fired it up in Cygwin just now, and I've forgotten a lot of the key strokes! How did that happen??? I'd better go home and run Goatboy (my linux machine) some more...
And for some reason I'm not surprised you were doing Astrophysics as work experience, and further find that mental image highly amusing :-)
(I learnt Vi at Uni in 1994. And now I miss it...)
