I don't agree with you. GUI depends which desktop you are using (KDE, 
GNOME, XFce, WindowMaker, TWM, etc... ). So I think that it's important 
to learn Linux based on common and generic tools. The reason is simple: 
they will work on almost every linux box without care about what is the 
desktop the other users are using. For example, your solution doesn't 
work on my computer because, probally, we are using different desktops.

A very good thing that I learn when I left Windows is "the terminal is 
really your best friend". :-)

Finally, enjoy the freedom!
