@HopperMCS @Yoruka @waff @rher @Zergling_man >you been to a computer science classroom recently?
I've been to a classroom about computing semi-recently (actual computer science classrooms are pretty rare, as that's the materials and electrical science of manufacturing computers).

>get mad when you tell them they have to take a mandatory course requiring a rawdog command line
Maybe they will get less mad if you tell them that they are about to experience the freedom of GNU bash, which may look like the horribleness of DOS or windows cmd or powers hell, but has none of the limitations.

>If they can't even be assed to understand the UNIX philosophy
GNU's Not Unix.

They will understand that a group of freedom enjoyers have got together to develop a 100% free OS to give the users freedom in computing, no matter what it took if you tell them.

>about Stallman's philosophical tangents?
Tangents?

What he talks about is how it's wrong to yoke people with proprietary software and that software should be about community, sharing and freedom.
