Linux: it's not standardized yet, there are many window managers around but none of them is the default one on all the Linux distros.
Well, that's what choice is about.
Also, many tasks are still unnecessarily complicated (to copy files to a floppy you need to give "sync" command to fisically do it, just everything I experiment makes the system hang - I'm saying this as a Linux newbie)
And as newbie one can be clueless
You do not need to type "sync", if you want to remove the floppy you only need to umount it. The reason your system hangs is because you remove the floppy without dismounting it. When you dismount it (umount) it will be synced automaticly. Also, if the floppy is VFAT-formattet floppy, you might want to try the mcopy and mdir commands.
