No, Linux is for people who know what they are doing :-). > I wonder if a shell could have unlimited undo capabilities like many > graphics or sound editors do. > One way to achieve something like that at least partially would be > to flag things to be done and then have some special commit command > that could also be rolled back if something goes wrong. Yeah, and where do you get the diskspace from? If I, as a Linux user, rm some file, I *want* it gone, immediately. Everything else would be highly anoying, at least to me. That is like using Java, since it will prevent your most stupid programmers from harming your company too much. I still maintain the viewpoint, that as a boss, you rather should fire your most stupid programmers, instead of using Java. BUt thats just me. -- CYa, Mario
