I'd have to side up with cbagger01 on this one....
( usually a smart move anyway... that's another story.. )
For me, learning to command a dos environment from a dos prompt,
or even better, configuring "norton commander" to handle batch files and
filename extension execution activity was a great stepping stone to linux.
All the good viewers, players, and apps were run from cli at a dos prompt.
So on, and so forth, with xtree gold, and many other tools to help
with file management in a dos world.
DOS was my friend, not something to be feared..
Many of the things I see happening here in linux with
hardware configurations, IRQ's and IO's, bash scripts,
or the familiar /opt/bootlocal.sh filetypes,
are so similar and familiar to the " batch" files from the ol' dos days.
DSL has the norton knockoff, 'MC'... ,
but as I use and customize emelfm more and more each day,
it feels very much like my old NC buddy ..
My old 286-12 ( turbo! ) , and my first 386-16DX,
would have never run DSL , but with a whopping 40MB Seagate HD,
and a VGA monitor , they were the stuff of legends....
( could you imagine back then, filling up a few gigabytes of HD space? )
