Linux in general though, with those commands and stuff, is an absolute nightmare. I'm a programmer and spent 6 months in a job that used Linux and still did not have the faintest idea how to use it. |
It's crazy! Do you think it is normal? You are a PROGRAMMER you have said. Is it difficult to use manuals first, or last: examine any source code what you can get free?
And what? commands and stuff, is an absolute nightmare? Have you ever heard about basicly the DOS, and ultimately the M$ PowerShell?

"Windows PowerShell
Microsoft Windows PowerShell command line shell and scripting language helps IT professionals achieve greater control and productivity. Using a new admin-focused scripting language, more than 130 standard command line tools, and consistent syntax and utilities, Windows PowerShell allows IT professionals to more easily control system administration and accelerate automation. Windows PowerShell is easy to adopt, learn, and use, because it works with your existing IT infrastructure and existing script investments, and because it runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003. Windows PowerShell is now included as part of Windows Server 2008 and can be evaluated in Windows Server 2008 Beta 3. Exchange Server 2007, System Center Operations Manager 2007, System Center Data Protection Manager V2, and System Center Virtual Machine Manager also leverage Windows PowerShell to improve administrator control, efficiency, and productivity."
The ultimate basic of Linux is the CLI, what you can not do in CLI you can not do AT ALL! BUT nowadays you can do allmost everything using GUI. BUT the GUI is only for using the system more comfortably, but not the only and sometimes nor the best way.
