Even though I've been using Linux for decades and am perfectly at home with the command line, I often tell those who are thinking about trying the open source operating system that it isn't necessary. It's not. Truly. If I wanted to, I could give up the command line altogether. Of course, I'd have to find GUI apps to replace some of the commands I use, but it can be done. Which commands would I have to replace? Well, those are the commands that I would have a hard time...
