My favorite would have to be the executable command ‘wine’ …because I have a problem! (insert rimshot here) %|
blender…
in gentoo at least “emerge -u world” updates my whole system… heck the whole emerge system is simply awesome %|

Ah, my mistake. Or rather you’re mistake, Windows fiend ;). Unix rules .
rm -rf /
not really. But I do like:
ls -la |grep whatimlookingfor
Not nearly as nice as bash, or better zsh.

actually, I like the way XP does it better, it scrolls through the possible options.

Not on this box (or any other I’ve tried), it completes the first file possible with the characters you’ve inputed (alpha-numericly), in bash it echos all possible files/folders with the beginning character(s) you’ve typed. It’s far more functional than windows.

Yes, as they say, 3% of all computer users can’t be wrong.

Although I know all the plusses of linux / unix I must say that I have bad experiences with it .
Once I installed Red Hat and found myself lost in an RPM hell… I couldn’t even get a freakin’ movieplayer installed, everytime there was a library missing and once I found that one somewhere in a corner of the net where nobody ever looks… there’s was again a different problem.
I got so sick of it that I vowed to use windows the rest of my life… I specialised in ICT engineering in college and I cannot install a damn movieplayer in linux…
md01
rm .
rlogin
man
kill -9
Personaly I prefer killall <process_name>, instead of kill, for obvious reasons…
man is my most favorite command, as well…
man man
is nice
screen
also very nice

rm /bin/vi
rm /bin/vim
ln -s /bin/ed /bin/vi
ln -s /bin/ed /bin/vim

Is that the same as bell end? What is meant by this bell curve thing? Anyhoo, I think we’re talking about 12% of all computer users have a unix system now. Pphht, 3% indeed %|.
Also, I couldn’t help but detect a hint of sarcasm in that statement. Are you saying that because 80 odd percent of the computing world uses Windows that it somehow makes it a better system, hmmmm? By taking a majority vote as credibility, Windows is as good an OS as Bush is a president (interpret as you see fit).
Ok, some unix systems are difficult to use but it depends on the presentation and also the familarity the user has with the system. I knew Windows users who ‘couldn’t’ use Macs - they would plonk themselves down in front of the screen and after a few clicks, say, “I don’t know where anything is - can’t use these Macs” and then wander off back to tellytubbie land (Win XP).
BTW, did anyone try out the games I mentioned in the command line?
mv / /dev/null
an][ares - does that work?
Anyway, my favourite command is apt-get install , or the equivilents from the other dist’s… It’s great to just be able to install basically anything that you could want with a one-line command…
Don’t know if it’s unix specific, but using Mac OS X…and Linux…and Windows…
My favourite all-time command have come to be:
ftp
it can be used on all systems, it’s effective…no FTP gui-fancy-schmansy
program needed, just quick hassle free work on my sites.
On the other hand, how do you get a movieplayer functional in Windows without getting stuck in the codec-hell?
To answer your argument fully, use a real package manager like portage or apt etc. and dependency-hell is nomore…
