I grew up on WinDoZe! I dont know Linux commands that well and poke and plug my way through it and dont know where anything is located, using the my computer window I can find things much easier, once I know where the files are I can use the xterm to copy, move, delete, etc the files. I like using the GUI for editing too since I do a lot of stuff off a web site, mainly Cisco, so I can have a Firefox window and another window with a term session or editing window etc. same as I do in WinDoZe.

I am sure once I become fluent in the linux commands I can do it much easier through the Comm than through the gui.
