Gui-less Software


Anything with a command line is preferred. Nothing gets a scientist revved up more than batch files. Even better if the operating system is run via the command line. That's hot!

I love my SSH shell. I would hate to have to own a website that didnt provide SSH for me to do things with. Even my email box (well, one of them) is run through SSH.

But the whole OS? No, I got over that. I was a Linux freak from 2000 to 2004, but after that it became no longer useful to me, so I switched back to Windows.

dual boot is the best of both works.

No, the best of both worlds would be a windows box, from which you SSH into a linux box. Want to run a windows program? Right there. Want to run a linux program? Right there. Rebooting? Pfft.

You'll need two computers, but the linux one can be a cheapo one that you buy used.
