Ahh... but which environment are you referring to? Physical or virtual? Hardware or software? Rec room or cubicle?

Right now I would have to say x windows, but I am learning more about the console. The console took awhile to learn, but is now becoming more intuitive. I have an old computer without enough ram to run X, so this will be a good learning computer. Full immersion in the cli.

Console.

I'm just faster there. :cool:

Most of the things I do, with the exception of movies and graphics, have command-line tools available. I type way faster than I click, so console it is!

Funny thing is, I do most of my work in a console, but I'm usually using a terminal. That's why I use a windowmanager like ion that is VERY minimalistic, and allows me to have a freaking TON of X terminals open on my dual 1280x1024 monitor setup. Sometimes, I'll have so many things running, I can have 8 or 9 gnome-terminals (gnome-terminal has tabs!) running, and have 3 or 4 tabs in each window.

console => Development, Troubleshooting, Mail, VI (because pico deserves to live behind a dumpster)

Gnome => Graphic Developement (gimp), Open Office

XP => Graphic Development (Photoshop), Gaming (because I can't play xpilot all day :P), other people in my family who always bother me about Linux and I am too lazy to teach them
