    Lynx as a browser is junk. I use links instead.

    BUT, again, this started off talking about a server. Seeing as how that is the case, I'm not using any browser.

    We are talking about a server here, you troll.

    also, if you haven't already sorted your files before you need to move them that's your own fault. :p

    example fail.

    How about, in one operation, finding all the text files on the entire disk, (I'll even let you assume a .txt extension on this one and exclude all files that don't have an extension), must follow a certain naming pattern, and also contain certain keywords inside the file.

    Do that with your gui in less time then it would take me to read the man page to write the regex and then execute the command.

    Starting...now!

    On a desktop that would be ridiculous.

    On a server, on the other hand, everything should be editable from the command line. In my opinion, the installation of a GUI shouldn't even be considered. sftp and ssh are perfectly usable and acceptable for remote access. At no time in the history of a server should a GUI ever consider coming into play. As has been previously stated, you're just introducing more points of failure and vectors for attack when you do so.

    I've thought software patents were stupid the first time I heard of them.

    I won't debate it a lot, but I did like XOrg better than XFree86.

    I didn't grow up around DOS and still prefer a command line to a GUI for getting real work done.

    If that's the case, every website ever made with an embedded menu is in violation. Seriously. Just what exactly is an embedded menu anyway? Is that like when you include a menu via javascript or CSS or SSI? If so, I'm in violation too (and darn proud of it!)

    They didn't go out of business, Microsoft bought them and that was post-'97 (I think it was around '99). I had a pre-MS account but have since closed that one. I still have one hotmail address (I used to have three), though.

    That's nothing. I have problems with my email address. I was just at the New Patriot Journal and had to use my Yahoo address because they had to have email from a "valid address" (apparently jnagyjr@joseph-a-nagy-jr.us isn't a valid email address, despite me having used it for several years).
