Only times I used it was for work or servers for personal use. For the rest I couldn't give a rats ass, I'll take windows gladly on my pc (every two releases ) instead of trying to twist a triangle in a square hole to make everything work

SteamOS should hopefully change the PC gaming world for the better and we can all finally make the move to *nix.
GABEN!

Linux has its purposes.
And perhaps in the future it may be useful in more professional environments.
But that day is not today.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

You know ... let's talk about freedom on a piracy board where everything here is pirated but let's try to make ourselves appear cool by throwing around bullshit like "100% free", instead of using everything else that was 100% free.

So you want to administer a web/sql server but you are bothered with the command line? Good job. |
Under perfect circumstances, nothing should require CLI crap.

No, that has always been my view. CLI is to the possible minimum. In fact I have to go more in to the terminal in Mac than I have to in Windows, and I don't like that at all.

CLI is THE most powerfull tool for administering a server. Why would Microsoft bother with enhancing PowerShell anyway?
Writing scripts is the fastest way to automatize stuff since it relies only on grepping and redirecting text, insanely simple and elegant if you can overcome basic POSIX shell constructs. I don't see a viable (and fast) alternative if your job goes beyond running one or two processes and simple logging.
The problem with AMP servers is not in the command line, it's in badly documented config files with their own made-up structure. It has nothing to do with CLI. CLI can be elegant.

I said "under perfect circumstances". Also, in the examples above you mentioned a web and SQL server. Neither of these require CLI to configure (or again, under perfect circumstances).
Why does Microsoft enhance PowerShell? Because some of its tools are ridiculous in the UI department. Tried to configure an Exchange server? The Management Console is so bad, you might as well just do it from the commandline with PowerShell. How is this optimal? The lack of good UI does not make the CLI good, it makes it the least bad. That's not optimal.

What?
When it comes to AMP there's nothing custom or undocumented. Apache + MySQL use conf, PHP uses INI.
Now had you said Nginx with its pseudo scripting (or Varnish), or Postcrapsql which has shit docs next to its (up to recently in 9.3) utterly retarded reliance on fucking kernel parameters, then yes. But AMP? No, it doesn't get much easier than that.
Nor does it require the CLI on Linux or Windows; only does on OS X if you want some control over the version and thus need to replace Apple's crap.

If it's regular "name value" pairs with Apache confs, I wouldn't complain. But when I see that horrendous mixture of conventional conf and XML-like shit, my stomach starts to turn. But I'm not sysadmin, I use AMP only seldomly for basic testing, so luckily I don't have to see those files often...

Well they need some block structure, which conf doesn't have. And INI sections wouldn't suffice, as there's no nesting. Nginx's looks cleaner perhaps, but poorly documented? Fuck no.
The actual config in Apache is just name/value pairs. The XML like bits are just for block control.

No idea, but make a topic, maybe someone can help and it's not very visible here...
