I believe you!

Also learnt a bit - and been converted to Linux for some future date when I have the leisure to play with it.
That makes me happy! But what's even better is how happy it'll make
you once you've done it.
Just for an idea of the built-in power of Linux, please read the
first post in what turned into our Linux mega-thread.
In it, I explain how to replace spaces in filenames, like:
This Is A File
with underscores:
This_Is_A_File
(Spaces in filenames, while always allowed in *nix, aren't desirable for assorted reasons.)
As you read the code, keep in mind I'm
strictly using commands that come standard with virtually all UNIX/Linux systems. There's no app to buy, nothing to search for online, just built-in tools.
I wouldn't expect you to plunge in and know how to write a script like that; that's not my point. The point is that not only is Linux more secure, stable, and beautiful (as in infinitely customizable) than window$, its built-in tools put window$ to shame.
