Random Geekage » unix http://kevinisageek.org Randomness, geekery and whatever else I feel like Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:59:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Command Line Fu http://kevinisageek.org/2009/02/16/command-line-fu/ http://kevinisageek.org/2009/02/16/command-line-fu/#comments Mon, 16 Feb 2009 10:53:01 +0000 Kevin http://kevinisageek.org/?p=433 Finally Digg comes up with something useful. Command-Line-Fu is a site that has a ton of useful Unix (and occasionally Windows) commands.

For the adventurous (make sure you have a backup, please):

[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo *Click*

Partitioner is confusing as hell (using cylinders to determine partition size?!)

Install was very fast (10 mins)

FVWM is the default window manager which I hate.

Lacks binaries for libiconv and gettext so gnome won’t install.

Ports system is somewhat confusing

CVS won’t work

No wget! This is blasphemy! Have to use ftp to grab stuff!

OpenBSD is more complicated than Slackware and that is a difficult thing to have. Still, I have the most secure OS avaliable to the general public. I just can’t use it for anything.
