The Why I hate UNIX Page
This is a page which contains random entries about what sucks in Unix, weather it is Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris...
It's mainly used as a reminder what we should do better before World Domination with Voyager [tm]
- Keyboard Layout in Xorg. Why does it have to be so hard...
- SSH & Terminals/TERMCAP: Aaaaaaaaaaargh (backspace, delete...)
- copy/paste: Qt way, GTK way, X way - copying highlighted text to the clipboard is very annoying
- unix commands like cp and mv (cla loves the good old CMD commands!)
- no consistent GUI concept (lets stick to CUA and/or anything advanced to that, possibly enhance them !)
- drivers or settings compiled into the kernel (uurg - stoneage)
- mount a floppy/CD(/USB stick ?) to access it
- no drive letters or something adequate (something like this must be there for those being used to it)
- forward slashes in file names (this is a killer for those being used to backslashes)
- case sensitive filenames (what is this good for ?)
- confusing directory tree with too many standard directories (requires too much knowledge, better use less standard dirs, better use env vars to point to certain directories !!!)
