Hi, I am a new user of freebsd 4.0. I have installed the OS but can only use the command line interface because of graphics card incompatibility. But I decided to learn using the command line interface anyway. Can the things which can be done in GUI be done in command line ? e.g, can we email, >you can use th mail command , i personnally love the mutt email program , it runs in console ,it's a bit tricky to configure so you might wanna look at pine first . surf the net, > you can use links to view html documents on the web install new software, > use the ports colletion browse our hard-disk in command line? > use ls , tree and any combination of find , grep and all . Also,what are the editors and programming software which we can open and use in command line interface ? >well , I use vi for almost everything ( i even run it on windows ... ) but you can use pico and emacs if you want a diffrent editor >programming , i use perl and shell scripts but i guess you can program just about everything with command line ... >other things you can do are network sniffing using tcpdump , my favorite and i bet there'sa lot more .... Please reply if you can. Thanks !! :) Yours faithfully, Freebsd newbie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
