The gui/terminal dichotomy's quite real when the people who write all your interfaces and applications believe in it. What good is ssh-ing to localhost when nothing you care about works from there?

My first program for PocketPC wasn't "hello world", it was "start/run" -- the alternative being inserting fixed strings in file associations via regedit! Being written in Java, half-divorced from the standard process model, the gap in Android apps must be even larger.

update-gap-workspace

UPDATE-GAP-WORKSPACE(1) 					   User Commands					   UPDATE-GAP-WORKSPACE(1)

NAME

       update-gap-workspace - manage a GAP workspace.

SYNOPSIS

       update-gap-workspace

       update-gap-workspace update

	      Create or update the GAP workspace.

       update-gap-workspace delete

	      Delete the GAP workspace.

DESCRIPTION

       At  start  up,  GAP  load  all  libraries and packages available on the system.	This take several seconds. To save time, GAP can store the
       result of this initialisation in a `workspace'.	update-gap-workspace help to manage such workspaces.  update-gap-workspace can be  run	as
       root  to  manage  the  system-wide  workspace.	update-gap-workspace  can be run as a normal user. In this case the workspace is stored in
       $HOME/gap/workspace.gz.

       Note that you need to rebuild the workspace each time GAP packages are added, removed or updated. To automate that task, if the system-wide
       workspace exists, it is automatically updated whenever a GAP-related Debian package is installed or upgraded.

       The gap script will automatically load such workspace at start up.

FILES

       /var/lib/gap/workspace.gz:
	      The system-wide GAP workspace.
       $HOME/gap/workspace.gz:
	      The user-specific GAP workspace.

NOTES

       We  are	considering  enabling the system-wide workspace per default, though this feature could be too confusing for old-time GAP users. If
       you have opinions about it, please mail <gap@packages.debian.org>.
