For few days I’m using Windows 2008 Core. It’s a good idea but for me still need some improvement. Here are the improvement that I think necessary to windows 2008 Core
1. Fixed the command prompt. make a smart command prompt, take example from linux command promot (nuff said).
2. Fixed the command prompt (again). In Linux I can resize the command prompt. Windows command prompt horrible, because sometime I need to get long output from a command.
3. Make a decent text based editor.. try to take example from VI.
4. Why on earth we still need RDP for text based environment. Just make a decent SSH server.
Other than that I like to work with Win 2008 Core, I think it very useful when you want to make RODC and File server at branch office.
