er.... i believe, that text mode commands is not a very good idea.
u can't expect all users to know commands and stuffs.
let's begin with point-n-click stuffs, and later. by looking at our user
base, we might take a decision on "advanced options"
let us now go for a Mac OS X/KDE 3.1 look ;)
we would need very good designers for this

Another thing is that as a matter of policy, we must try to keep client
side processing to the minimum - remember - that it's a web based OS :)
And I think I'll get hold of a guy who has a web tv or something like
that - that will help us make our tasks much more easier :D
anybody having a a webtv here???
