A sticky GUI mess
I'mnbsp;working on anbsp;project at the moment, migrating a large Domino customer from a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIX_operating_system"AIX/a to Linux. While I won't bore you with gritty details, I will say that I am actually *really* enjoying the switch from the usual wintel deployments to Linux. br /br /Now, like mostnbsp;self-confessed geeks -nbsp;I'm a hard-core Linux user (*disclaimer - hardcore and Linux may also be referreed to as casual and withnbsp;a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/"Ubuntu/anbsp;-- well its so easy isnt it?),nbsp;I often compile my own Kernel (errrm... booting from the a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD"Live CD/anbsp;is kinda compiling... isnt it?), and generally revel in the power that comesnbsp;fromnbsp;a weilding a black console and blinking cursor as if i'd just executed the a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?id=4834062amp;The-Zergling-Rush---A-Popular-StarCraft-2-Tactic="Zerg Rush manouvre/a in the original version of Star Craft . Howevernbsp;beneath my newfound, self-professednbsp;a href="http://www.jayssite.com/stuff/l33t/l33t_translator.html"l33tnbsp;/astatus -nbsp;there's really is only one reason why I was able to feel so at home (a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbie"n00b/a) on a new O/S. The GUI.br /br /For those not in the know, most Liunx distro's use either a href="http://kde.org/"KDE/a or a href="http://www.gnome.org/"Gnome/a to handle the GUI portion of the O/S, with some distro's like Ubuntu having done such a good job of implementing the GUI, that even the mostnbsp;basic of Windows users (Hi Mum) are able to get around, surf the net and use word processing with no training what-so-ever.br /br /Which brings me to the point of my post. br /br /Beforenbsp;I started this project,nbsp;I hadnt realised that as an IT professional, with some 10 years in the industry - just *how* GUI-dependant I was. I mean, im more than happy to splash out to a console in Windows for the standard ping, netstat amd the occasional nslookup. And even on my home Ubuntu install, was more than cool with a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo"sudo/a'ing to change passwords for users in the system. However,nbsp;the clientnbsp;Inbsp;am currently workingnbsp;for has chosen not use a GUInbsp;with the RedHat install for Domino - leaving me to need brush up rather quickly on my console skills. Which remarkably, happened in the space of 2-3 days. I now, *feel* i know enough to impress (and scare) most windows engineers into thinking I am a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds"Linus Torvalds/a (well almost).br /br /So, given my new found respect for the console, and the power that comes with it -- a little humour for you all below.br /br /Also, stay tuned for a 3 part install guide to getting Domino up and running on Redhat.br /br /br /div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7_MgIDMkHE/TORYrG6a_GI/AAAAAAAAAEE/746vNFvkpjI/s1600/sandwich.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"img border="0" height="265" px="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7_MgIDMkHE/TORYrG6a_GI/AAAAAAAAAEE/746vNFvkpjI/s320/sandwich.png" width="320" //a/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8130468658145745719-7482445070103523247?l=xpageguy.blogspot.com' alt='' //div
