Ok I have been working in IT network field since 7 years and just one
and half year back i have started exploring Linux and I believe, someone
said to me lately that if you start loving black and white terminal then
you will never look back to Windows GUI. I literally can experience this
thing at the stage I am standing with Linux. As I consider myself a
newbie in Linux but according to my previous experience if i don’t
practice I will forget things very easy (as there are tons of commands
to remember which I will forget with less or 0 practice). so i am here
to ask all the old Pros that how you guys manage to remember all the
commands and practice all the previous work. Since after the deployment
of some Linux services there is only the log which i have to see for
further errors. So how it is possible to keep in my mind all the old
stuff and along with that I can move forward with the new goals.

The best to avoid forgetting things is using them: forget about the X
server, forget the GUI (don't install them), jump to the console and work
for there.

Anyway, I as an admin, don't pay much attention in remembering the exact
commands and their related parameters (there's always the man page I can
quickly query) but I'm more interested in learning and applying new
computer concepts, good administering and managing techniques, I mean,
I'm more interested in *what* is the best to do than *how* to do it, so
for daily tasks I rely on Midnight Commander which helps me a lot with
the usual sysadmin's workflow.
