I disagree, Newbies do like the CLI at least I do, and I still consider myself a newbie. So much can be done from the command line that can't be done from a canned GUI app. Take a simple script for example, cp/usr/home/me/whatever.jpg "`date+ %Y%m%d%H%M`.jpg" and cron that hourly off of an image taken hourly (whatever.jpg) to make an image archive...it is exactly what I wanted. Don't give up on CLI for newbies instead mix it in with some GUI apps. It is really how it goes.
