A few quick ways to glean info about your box-
turn on/off energy star features:Code:cat /proc/pci cat /proc/interrupts cat /proc/bus/usb/devicecs cat /proc/scsi/scsi cat /proc/cpuinfo cat /proc/cmdline procinfo -f free -m X -version df -h du / |sort -nr|most (will take a while on large drives) xvidtune -show xrandr|grep \* nmap localhost
To kill something that just won't die:Code:xset -/+dpms
Mini How-to get shtuff done in LinuxCode:xkill
Text editors
There are many text editors that you may choose from. Usually (not always) mc (Midnight Commander)comes with most distro because:
1)It's easy to use/learn.
2)You can install .deb and .rpm with mc.
3)It does ftp.
4)It's the same whether using a GUI or in text mode.
3) It's more nutritious than corn flakes.
Look at your Kmenu(If you use KDE of course). There should be a menu of text editors. kedit, xedit, kate (very excellent) emacs and so on. You can use any of them. Hell you can use Konqueror and default kedit for that matter just like M$ exploder. That's actually very easy to use.
*5 star tip-o-the-day*
Open a term,
konqueror
right click on any file/folder>Properties>Permissions tab
--------->If launched as root a very dangerous tool!!
It would be good to get away from using the start menu so much anyway-learn to launch apps from the CLI-many of them you can guess correctly. You can right click on the desktop>run program>blah and away you go. But the CLI is alot faster than a menu.
Alternatively, if you have a term open (I always have several) you can just enter the name of the text editor, the path and filename and away you go like this:
mcedit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
That can be translated like this:
mc (use Midnight Commander) edit (to edit) /etc/X11/ (the path to the file) XF86Config-4 (the filename).
You can also do this:
cd /etc/X11
mcedit XF86Config-4
It's the same thing. You just don't need to provide a path because you are already there. You are said to be "in that directory". How do you know which directory you're in?
pwd
Present Working Directory
What if you don't know what the exact name of the file is?
cd /etc/X11
ls
Better yet:
The TAB key completes entries for you. Just type the beginnig letters of a path or file and hit TAB- you'll see.
To start a service on boot add a script to /etc/init.d and do:
sudo update-rc.d <scriptname> defaults

hay caramba Dave- that's alot of info there. Maybe you should call it a crash course. You just won a bookmark in Konqueror. (Sorry it's all the cheap-assed committee could afford).Originally Posted by Dave_Bechtel

my simple answer to a FAQ ...But where is diskcopy?
----------------------------------------------------------
# copyleft 2003 by oscar - script to clone diskettes
#!/bin/bash
clear
echo Put the SOURCE floppy into disk-drive
echo ENTER to continue - Ctrl+C to abort
read
echo ...reading the SOURCE disk...
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/floppy.img
echo
echo Type Nš of COPIES you want - Ctrl+C to abort
read n
i=1
while [ $i -le $n ]
do echo
echo "COPY Nš $i - Put a formatted floppy into disk-drive"
echo ENTER to continue when ready...
read
echo ...writing a COPY...
dd if=/tmp/floppy.img of=/dev/fd0
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
rm -f /tmp/floppy.img
echo
echo Done

Aw gee, it ain't all that.

Hi All
Hi Dave,
I was trying to access your linux tips page... problem is, tripod sites, as well as other free web space providers are blocked by the great firewall of (the country I'm in)... just the way it is around here...
I wonder if there is a way around this.... hmmmm... I can mirror it for you here if you can send to me the files... I hope this is okay with you...
