Leveraging years of hard work by the GNU foundation and others in the open source community, Apple designed a wonderful OS that doesn't "need" any use of the command line."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1254118219.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>Doesn't need the use of the command line? I would have to disagree, at times there aren't any alternatives. But I'd say for the most part that is true. I don't use the command line in Terminal very often, but it is a nice resource to have when you do need some help. I doubt most users ever get into the Terminal program, but if you have or still do, this is a list of some utilities that may come in handy. </p>
