>Absolutely Not deliberately inscrutable. How can it be when it's open
source? As for barriers, may you never have to try to recover someone's
precious files from a machine running windows 2k with what thankfully
turned out to be failing DDR memory. It was the abysmal recovery
toolset on the install CD I was horrified by. Had I not found the fault
I would probably have fitted a FreeBSD HD next :)
Since this thread is probably off-topic anyway I don't want to keep it
going, but I do want to say that this constant bashing of Windows is
most "off-putting" and I can tell you from personal experience that I
would have gotten into UNIX at least five years and probably ten years
before I did were it not for the condecending crap I got over the years
for being a Windows programmer.
But the deliberate inscrutability of UNIX isn't something I made up,
I've had people brag to me about it, as though having to learn a
different command set for every application or utility represents some
sort of strength. I totally approve of keeping the morons away from
computers but making things deliberately cryptic also drives away bright
people who come to regard the whole thing as amateurish.
My 2.
