when we install archlinux, we use command line for every step, eg. partitioning the hard disk, formatting the partitions, config network, mounting partitions, chroot to new partitions (archlinux has a script to simplify the process with a single command), install program for your needs (text editor, kernel, grub, xorg, windows manager, etc). it makes me learn and understand a lot about linux (at least archlinux).
many people do not like command line, but i think i can have better control of what i am doing. |
