Linux Philosophy

These days I read the book Linux and the Unix Philosophy.

Here are some principles:

• Little is graceful
• Make each program do one thing
• Construct prototype as soon as possible
  (So I think it is a wonderful idea to use Python or Bash scripts...)
• Portability is more important than efficiency
• Use plain text to store data
• Benefit from Leverage effect
• Use Shell-script to enhance the leverage effect and portability
• Avoid Compulsive-User-Interface
• Create each program as a filter
  • Use stdout/stdin/stderr as output/input

Think.
Try.
And grow up.
