Ah, the AltaVista &mIRC & Korn era… Was in on #linuxger back then or on #linuxde? And what was the reason for the split again? Anyway, SuSe sucks ;)

@luigirenna @mos_8502 There's nothing wrong with using the CLI, but there's nothing inherently special about it, either. Everyone used to do DOS, including editing startup files. So bash makes you about as elite as using a mouse does when everyone else is using touchscreens… ("You whippersnappers who don't even know what hover is about!")

But yeah, it was a common user pattern back then. I remember the whole #linuxde (or was it #linuxger ?) IRC channel getting out their virtual switchblades whenever someone asked about configuring their system with SuSe's "Yast" tool, and not by editing obscure config files like the gawds intended. The pride you get when you know just a teeny bit more than others…
