And I thought I was a nerd....

Help me keep the shell people alive



This may not make a lot of sense to my non-nerd readers :-)

The other day I had to use Mac OSX's command line to fix something the GUI had done.

I must admit that I do have my terminal app set to the old green on black - a bit of a homage.

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).

I have to admit I can't pick vi over vim.

I started off with emacs, didn't like it and switched to vi. Within a day. The first time I ever used Linux. It was when I was 14 (late starter, I know) and went and did work experience in the Swinburne astrophysics/supercomputing centre; my supervisor showed me what I needed to edit in text files to run simulations on, and she was using vi but she showed me emacs as she figured it'd be easier for me to use/had a somewhat more familiar interface. She came back that afternoon and was all "You figured out how to use vi by yourself?!"

vim >>>> vi though. ♥
