Thanks, but in a very important way I do,  strong emphasis on important 
way.

Shellworld is a comparative Unix based command line.  For example i know 
nano, and Pico its older edition.  have run screen in the past etc.
Far less to my tastes, I use comparative shells in other editions, Ubuntu 
for example.
However the uniqueness about Linux and Unix is just how individually things 
can be configured.
This is why I am constructing the box I have in mind totally separate from 
my main computer, to duplicate something I do daily, treating it like a 
server, and using the  other tools I require to access and understand that 
server apart from the Linux construction itself.
scripting yes, i know someone willing and able to do this for me, so that I 
am, for me, working form a firm base, leaving me to focus totally 
on learning how to use the tools I feel will allow me to make music as I 
desire.
This is me however, I would not diminish the experiences of others by 
suggesting they should do this my way.
I am amazed that others   think they should do as much to me.

Certainly, but I also lead with years of conventional editing that does 
not require  using adaptive tools whatsoever. You edit by listening to our 
source material, not by reading a screen.
Still I would not expect someone who has not learned this way to 
understand.
I would hope they might ask more than assume, but that is immaterial.

Your tools  are terrific for my goals, and you provide manuals 
for learning.
I have been using this Unix shell for what decades surely, and never lost 
my  ability to think command line by ever using windows.
so, my main goal is getting a totally separate Linux box built  accessing 
the many command line tools that serve my purpose and rendering my music 
into printed form the best way I can.
If no one else works this way, its perfectly fine by me.
after all if every artist created in the same fashion  we would have no 
Michael Angelo's would we?
