  I like how to you everything in Windows is "trivial". Like using soft or
hard links (which, btw, I have still no idea how to do, regardless of your
assurances that it's very easy).

  (If this so "trivial", why haven't I ever heard of this "RDP"? Yes, this
is the first time in my life I hear of it. And it's not like I haven't been
using Windows pretty regularly for the past 15 years or so. Contrast me
knowing about tools like rsync, rcp, scp and wget, which arguably are not
the most obvious things in unix either. What is the difference?)
