Extended DOS? DOS does not even compare to Linux. I should slap myself 
because putting DOS and Linux in the same sentence should be crime. I 
started my computer career using DOS 5 and I dont remember it containing 
the wealth of tools that Linux has. Mind you, I still use X for certain 
things but slowly I am migrating to bash only Linux usage. Maybe one day 
in the future I can get rid of X, but today is not that day.
