Reply To: Anyone have this problem with Linux and Koala?

Anything you want koala for can probably be done in the terminal.

This is probably the better way to do things anyway, because a terminal/shell is GUARANTEED to exist on all UNIX-like systems. It doesn’t matter if it’s Gentoo or Mac, you’ll have access to a terminal. That means, if you store your meaningful scripts as gists on Github, you’ll always have access to them and can do whatever you need to do. This is useful in a remote server situaion, which you UNDOUBTEDLY will run into at some point. Or, if you just have multiple devices. It’s really just a good idea to use the terminal as much as possible. That’s my opinion anyway.

I’d advise against becoming dependent on Koala or any one piece of software for that matter.
