Major-ass peeve of mine, too.  Considering what a large percentage of Cisco
shops are also *nix shops in which the admins are either mostly or
exclusively running some flavor of *nix, I'm quite disappointed at the lack
of Linux software from Cisco.  This is especially sad when you consider
that the person(s) who developed the IOS CLI were obviously from a *nix
background.  That's why IOS has the best, most intuitive CLI going, *nix
shells included.

This is very true.  If you build it, they *will* come. The trouble is, the
kind of people who find NEXT-NEXT-NEXT-FINISH challenging on *not* the kind
of people we want using Linux.  You just know they are a support nightmare
for the game vendors, too.
