So I took my semi-frequent stroll over to the UNIX guys on the other side of our office from where us civilized, well-fed Windows nerds reside. I like them enough. They’re good folks and enjoy a good joke. But I had to chuckle when I noticed all their Solaris and AIX monitors had a GUI desktop with multiple Terminal consoles open and command text running amok. I smiled and asked “so, why don’t you just boot into a pure CLI instead?” I got no verbal answer, just a smirk or two. So I continued on: “so…., you guys find it helpful to jump between the CLI windows by way of them floating around in a GUI?” I got a couple of laughs, but man, I walked away feeling like I won the lottery.
