[X-Unix] RE: X-Unix Digest, Vol 8, Issue 9

[Hudson Delbert J Contr 61 CS/SCBN]

okay, group...

first off...i've been in the unlix/linux world a loooong time and NEVER
heard any vendor pitch the CL as a selling point. 

the premise of *nix is that all are toolboxes and any good mechanic
will tell you, using the correct tool for the specific job is more
important than whether its made by snap-on or sold at sears. the discuss
starts to border on silly.

next....jamie,,,,,

its all about flexibility....the comments re: CL starts to
sound like one superimposing a winblowsze mentality to the conversation
when its not even relevant.

lets say i was going to allow you remote access to my *nix box...

i would allow telnet or even better ssh but not never X 
traffic for obvious reasons.

tell me how you'd go about using the system in that scenario.
