[Elecraft] Windows update clobbered me

[Fred Jensen]

Agreed.  "UNIX jargon" can be quite off-putting to newbies who have 
never grepped before.  Most of the "Windoze jargon" is hidden behind the 
screen, but have one of your USB ports develop constipation and Device 
Mangler will take you to jargon you've never dreamed of.

With a command line interface, there is basically one way to do each 
thing.  In Windows, if there aren't 53 ways to do each thing, just wait, 
the next forced update will provide them.

If all you want to do is use canned packages that are available using a "store" or apt-get, then it works mostly fine for new Linux users.  Most ham applications are not available that way, so old timers like me struggle.  BTW, I have used a lot of mainframe Unix software during my career.  The difference was that I didn't have to get it working.  IT did that!  I was paid to design products, not install software.
