The beauty of Linux is the fact it's still command line oriented

I hate GUI's!

you have SOOOO much more control with the CLI, if you know what your doing and know the CLI you can get things done SOOO much faster. Then if your repeating the steps in the future...write a script. The only servers we have at work with GUI's are ......*shudder* Windows servers *ack*

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. CLI simple and ineffcient for simple minds. But, YMMV.

Exactly - you can do things so much faster and easier from the CL if you know what you're doing. I even still use the CL in XP when I want to do some things fast. Still use xcopy for backups. Seriously, beats the crap out of GUI bloatware.
