Come with me to understand more about how little there is to dread in the Command Line (or Terminal) Interface to your computer in Linux.

This is the first of several episodes where I discuss the terminal interface, or command line interface, and it's command shell, bash.  We start simple and move on to progress to some of the more powerful commands.  Today, it's just some basics.

This is a general discussion of how to organize files on your computer, with specific emphasis on Linux distributions.

We also cover briefly zeit and at/batch.  Command line oriented material.

Tell me what you'd like to hear about in the podcast.  This is a service for you - help me out.  Gie a listen and see what else you want to hear about.  My office is open! :-)

I'll explain one of the ways in which the command line can do things simply that might otherwise be more complex in a GUI.

I'm an old keyboard hack, so I love the keyboard, possibly more than the mouse.  However, there are many good uses for the mouse as well where the keyboard may be inadequate.  Tell me what you think...

This is a love story - ways in which the keyboard and the mouse can do for each other (and you) some of the things you may have thought only one or the other can do.  Enjoy!

In this episode I discuss what's good about both interfaces and some contrasting features of both.  Al though I profess to be far more proficient with the terminal, which is decades older than the GUI, I enjoy using both.  Each has their high points.

Most Windows apps don't run on Linux.  Options after upgrading include using a Windows virtual machine on top of your Linux installation, using the interfface layer known as WINE, or finding native Linux apps to substitute - and how to find them.
