I agree with almost anything this man has said. I just got the alpha this morning, so I've only played through the first level or two, but I can already see how this will get boring. Crack servers -> Get file/transfer funds -> Upgrade computer -> Repeat. All other games I've played in this genre suffer from the same faults.
However, it's nice to see things like tab completion, the use of some real terminal commands (cat and ls for example). What I would like to see is more real stuff in the game. It doesn't have to be anything complicated, but for example, it would be cool to use something like ssh instead of the all-encompassing "connect" command, wget instead of "download", etc.
As for bugs, I've only encountered one so far. When I tried to close the game it froze up on me and I had to kill my X session. If I can remember to I will try piping the terminal output to a file and we'll see if it has any dying words.
