The little things are pretty amazing about Linux.

As I slowly RTFM learning command line, I am amazed by how much can be accomplished by the basic command line (BASH etc).

Starting with 5 VOB files, I decided I wanted one. No easy way to do this in Wintendo, but I happened to think of cat on Linux.

cat zombie* > zombie.vob

~3 minutes later I had the 5 combined into one big file.

Nothing major, I just thought it was neat;-)

Linux rox, the ONLY reason i dont use it anymore is due to the lack of DVD burning apps.

Umm there is a program bundled with SUSE 9.2 that burns DVDs just fine. I just burned a data DVD last night.

And, as mentioned, DOS/Windows COPY command can combine multiple files quite easily.

Well, I'll be.. Shows how little I have used DOS;-) I only ever used DOS when I had to. Oh well, that's just one thing. There are other things like the 'find' command that I'm sure DOS doesn't have. Alot of the tools in /proc are pretty cool. DOS is weak, copying entire subfolders with their contents seems to be impossible.

D'oh!  Looks like that's strike three for our slugger!  XCOPY32!

xcopy32 is not a dos command.

dir/s is almost, but not quite.
