[gui-talk] An accesible terminal at long last

[Dane Trethowan]

Ok, well another thing which I'm extremely happy about under Leopard  
is how accessible the terminal now seems to be. The terminal is found  
in the Utilities folder under the Applications folder and this utility  
allows you access to the "BSD" curnal of Leopard.
BSD is a form of LINUX, yes Leopard is based on LINUX but its cleverly  
hidden through the Leopard Graphical User Interface. Having the  
terminal accessible like this has made me more interested in "BSD"  
than I ever have been, just like the old DOS command-line days when  
writing batch files was a bundle of joy <smile>. BSD doesn't call them  
batch files any more, they're called scripts and they're more powerful  
than the humble batch file under MS DOS ever was.
So we have the best of two worlds with Leopard, an  intuitive and yet  
powerful graphical user interface and the power and flexibility of the  
terminal and BSD.
