Glad to see that there's openness to change with this. I think most
shell users are veterans,
so have long since gotten past the agonies of being a newbie. Mind,
that's true with most of the
CLI stuff--most of it is hoary with age and horribly unfriendly. That's
all the more reason to
re-think stuff tho. A more welcoming command line would help pull folks
away from the GUI/slave
mentality and turn them into 'real' Linux users. Anyway, other folks
may have had an easier time
of it, but, as I said, my own first experiences with bash/zsh were
sadistic. What would have made
a huge difference is knowing what were/are the 'correct' sources of
information--the 'official' manual,
the official web site, recommended reading, etc.
