Which OS are you? (http://www.bbspot.com/News/2003/01/os_quiz.php)
Which file extension are you? (http://www.bbspot.com/News/2004/10/extension_quiz.php)
Apparently, I am Debian (http://newbyproductions.net/images/debian.jpg) and I am also a .* (http://newbyproductions.net/images/star.jpg)
Haha lame, I got Windows 95 (http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2003/01/os_quiz/windows_95.jpg), yuck! Then again, I got .mpg (http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2004/10/file_extensions/mpg.jpg), and that could be because I answered "^_^ AN1ME is w00t! LOL!!!1 kekekekeke". I've come to the conclusion that these quizes were complete BULLSHIT.
OS/2 Warp

And I thought my result was bad! Oooh man, I feel your pain. At least yours is somewhat secure though, I can just feel the vulnerabilities of 95 merging with my soul. :(

OS X is elite. Linux > OS X > Windows > OS9-
It's secure, stable, and (ugh) pretty.

I share your love for the command-line, but only when I know how the OS works. At least DOS came with a Help program and I could learn the commands; Linux commands suck.
But your attitude about it always reminds me of a Dilbert comic....
Old co-worker: When I started programming, we didn't have all of these sissy "icons" and "windows."
Same guy: All we had were "0"s and "1"s -- and sometimes we didn't even have "1"s!
Same guy: I once wrote a database program using only "0"s.
Dilbert: You had "0"s?!? We had to use the letter "O".

You're insane!
Almost all linux commands are programs, so if you want a list:
ls /bin
ls /usr/bin
ls /usr/local/bin
If you don't know what one of them does, try:
man <command>
info <command>
<command> --help
Generally, you'll get different levels of help from each of those. I'm not too familiar with "info", but I think you can type it on its own to get a big bad list of topics. Or, if you like man, you can do "man -K <search string>" to search all pages for that text.
If NONE of that is good enough, try www.tldp.org or www.linuxquestions.org or irc.prison.net #linuxhelp, they are all full of linux Gods who know everything there is to know.
Maybe, but in DOS all I had to do was type "help". :P
BTW, I did manage to load an HTML file in Lynx yesterday! Text-based browsing rocks! JavaOp's site is the only one that works :P
[edit: I'm *.SWF, woot! (http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2004/10/file_extensions/swf.jpg)]
In Linux, "help" is a Bash command that will give you help on the Bash shell, which makes sense in a way. "info" is probably the equivilant of what you want :P
hahah .swf you suck at life.

It's in one of the Dilbert books I have. I've always liked that one, along with this one.
Boss: It says the grade for your project is a C. This is very poor.
Dilbert: That's the language it was programmed in.
Boss: Could you possibly program in B?
anyway..

It's a week old, that is considered old, and quit trashtalking your mouth or I'll put my .BOOT into it.
