This article also does similar misrepresentation. Paragraph 5 of the 'Text based' section. "It's probably worth mentioning one other important point about Linux here. It's a text-based operating system, which means that a fair few of the things you may want to tell your computer to do - installing certain new software, for example - requires you to open up a "terminal window" and actually type text into the little window." This paragraph is incorrect and really does get my back up. Regards Phil
