Every so often I ask myself, "What is the thing that keeps people from using Linux?" Typically speaking, the answer is that they don't know much about the open-source operating system. Second, comes the fact that it's hard to find any big-box store that sells PCs pre-loaded with Linux. Third? The command line. Yep, the command line.
Consider this: you tell someone about this incredible operating system they could use to escape the flaws, security issues, and costs associated with Windows, but the catch is that they might have to use the command line.
