This blog was started, because i got tired of many newbie questions like "How do you {something} in Linux?". Of course there is a pack of resources containing comparing tables with many(really many) rows. But these rows contain only names of programs not explaining the difference between them. But programs are different and it's very important sometimes.

The biggest Linux(and overall UNIXes) advantage is a suggestion that everything can be done in several ways. And it is one of it's biggest problems. Everyone goes his own way and very often doesn't accept other variants. The aim of these notes is not point at one software product, but to show a wide range of programs, comparing them and referencing with "designed-for-W*ndows" soft.

Besides, there is a plenty of tricks and programs, which make your life easier. Some of them are impossible to implement in Windows world. Some of them are very useful, some are just beautifiers.

Everyone around nowadays says that Linux is powerful, flexible, stable(huh? ;), secure(huhuh ;) system. It's true.

But practically noone mentions that Linux is a fantastically comfortable system.

I'll try to show it.
