    Au contraire!

    It might not be the most user-friendly way to do things, but I promise you this, a person with good knowledge about a command line will be much more efficient at typical those tasks available through the command line than an equally knowlegdeable GUI user.

    From your statement it also sounds as if you are saying that Linux is unable to provide users with a graphical user interface equal in complexity to Windows or OSX. This only proves you do not know what you're talking about.

    I'm no MS fanboy, don't get me wrong, but isn't it better with a couple of service packs for big changes instead of the way Apple does it, releasing a slightly upgraded OS at full price (Cheetah, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger and now Leopard, 2001 - present)?

    Wow.. I've seen a couple of weird notation over the years, but that one is just wrong..

    I think what you tried to write was: 100 Mbps (one hundred megabits per second). Other possible ways as well:
    • 100 Mb/s
    • 100 Mb*(s^-1)
