Hi

Im used to using nautilus within centos but have recently just got a VPS and quickly realising that using a KDE is unacceptable in this environment. Although I do find it so much quicker doing things like folder permissions in KDE rather than typing it all out in the terminal? Everyone I speak to says, use the terminal and I should learn this way as opposed to using the KDE, but theres certain things I just dont get

How is it possible to make quick changes to scripts and viewing them in a browser etc , without a mouse or using KDE? and only using a terminal?? I am wondering how to develop websites just using the terminal???

How can it be quicker to type out/view permissions etc in the terminal when its instant and just a few clicks in the KDE?

Any thoughts are much appreciated. I would love to understand the benefits but just cant seem to see them right now.

Cheers Ke.
