Also that devices of any sort, can be viewed as files. This is a nice
and clean interface design. A socket is treated as a file just as well as
a plain text file or a hard disk device. Piping and stdout/stdin/stderr
etc... all makes things work well together.
Make one small program that does one thing, but does it very well, is
what I like about Unix/Linux. (...but I am still waiting for the year that
Linux finally figures how to build an easy to use desktop :)
