For those, like me, who started their understanding of OS's using DOS commands in Windows 3.1 learning the entire new commands for Linux is daunting. I suppose if I immersed myself in it I would catch on but I just don't have the time.

I understand your concern. I feel just the opposite. I got converted into a zsh user (zsh is one of the common login shells) in the early 1990s and my login scripts have been more or less unchanged since around 1996. I use Solaris and RHEL desktop and servers at work, Mac OS X at home now.

Coming up in a couple of months, I'll be celebrating my first quarter century of running Unix at home.

I wonder if that is a record for longest user of Unix around here....sure beats mine.

I think I started playing with it after 2003.
