Well my beard is silver - I don't have much hair. I love tinkering with software and editing the registry etc. etc. but for relaxation we play games. Tomb Raider, Max Payne and so on. As a result, when I had to upgrade and buy a new laptop for her and a desktop for me they both had to be capable for game playing. Now if you tell me I am wrong and that Linux DOES play all these games I feel great fun coming on in uninstalling Windows, installing Linux..............
For a tutorial on the command line check this out?. It uses slightly different commands than DOS but if you are familiar with dos its easy to get the hang of it.
