Balderdash!! Yes, knowing cp, mv, ls, and friends is useful and at
times even necessary, but do install the mc package (Midnight
Commander) and enjoy the Swiss Army Chainsaw of Linux system
management. It has a friendlier editor than vi (although vi can be
invoked for the sadists amongst us) and has many not so obvious
features that bring an efficiency to system management I've not found
in any other program.
