Unix is job security through complexity.

SO far, I have found no other reason to know Unix or use it.

Customisablity? Choose the shell / editor which does what you want it to do. If you dont like it, download the soruce code and modify it yourself.

You are clearly uninformed.

All shells accept the same Unix commands. Some shells have special syntax to create scripts. There are also a variety of command line programs written for and in Unix. The fact that there are many to choose from is a whole different topic. I don't know what exactly you're installing, but my linux box has 1 editor, 1 shell, and only the programs I need on it. Perhaps you should steer away from RedHat. Or better yet, read when you're installing it.

Secondly, if you compare the Unix shell to the Windows command prompt, you will see that one is clearly supperior than the other. You seem to forget that for the stability of things, alot of the internet depends heavily on Unix in some way, shape, or form.

If you get so intimidated by a few shell commands, then well perhaps computers are not for you. I hear Apple have a new wave of computers about to be released. Perhaps their GUI interface will suit you more. You seem to easily forget that only 6 years ago, you were using windows 98 and had to use commands like Fdisk and Format.

However, I encourage you to try to administer a cisco firewall or router without knowing Unix. It is quite difficult. Specially when dealing with an institution that depends on that one box.

That actually made me laugh out loud, because when I read it his face appeared in my mind, with the odd acne and crazy comb-over action! :lol:

I asked a Unix consultant in a previous life why it was still so difficult to configure certain settings (like an IP address/mask) compared to a windows box and his answer was:

"No one's gonna pay me $200/hr to type 12 digits and click 'OK' are they?"
