Ubuntu

I recently got this 4GB SD HC (a tiny external storage device to put stuff on such as photos, homework assignments, MP3s, and more). Feeling a bit groovy, I plug this device into each of my computers (running Ubuntu 7.10 or CentOS 4.5) and I see the boring name appear on my Desktop as disk or NO NAME, respectively. From my Ubuntu box, I wanted to spice it up a bit.

alias ls ='ls -aF --color'
\ls to get the unaliased command
which apropos

history
!518

!523:p #prints the command w/o executing it.
echo !$ #outputs the arguments of the previous command

!! #repeats the previous command
man bash #search for history for more information

info bash #an alternative to man info

I just lost my web server viginity.

What should I name my server?

The following procedure is intended for experienced Linux users. It was tested on systems running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

To synchronize a home directory from computer X to a home directory with the same name on computer Y:

1. Boot each computer in recovery mode so only the necessary processes are running.

   To continue, you must enable the network connection for each computer.

2. Enable the network connection by typing the following command from each computer:

   /etc/init.d/networking start
