Linux-Unix cheat sheets - The ultimate collection
Feb 07, 2008 at 6:15 am - 82 Comments
http://www.scottklar...ultimate-collection/
This is a compilation of approx 70 cheat sheets for Linux users. There are a grip load of commands that Linux users have at hand which can seem very daunting to a novice. This collection will make Linux just a little less of a headache to learn.
Suggestion: Look through all of them and then choose the top 5-10 you think will help you the most. Print them out and then get creative. You can laminate and hang them on the wall around your desk, or create a small binder that you always keep in reach. Or you can use them all for inspiration to create your own master sheet that suites you best. If you do make your own, put it online and post the link in the comments - You'll get a lot of free traffic from here!
Fun thread. Tnx. zridling.

Cool list, but your sorting and ordering skills seems lacking-PhilB66 (December 02, 2008, 10:07 PM)
Since we're dreaming, I'd like an Edirol UA-101 (or FA-101) Computer Recording Interface.
Ten channels of 24-bit audio goodness. It doesn't get much better than this.
How about decent USB audio support on Linux? Would that count as 'better'?-Edvard (December 02, 2008, 05:30 PM)

BUT, Microsoft'd much rather people around the world steal Windows than use Linux (lesser of two evils, of course, not that they're necessarily happy with it)-city_zen (December 02, 2008, 09:26 AM)

I'm not sure why people use OpenDNS when there's many good free DNS servers out there (eg: 4.2.2.2-6) Those in combination with rolling your own cacheing server, and you'll have a more stable and fast system then what openDNS provides, and a tad bit more privacy as well, without the ads.-Gothi[c] (November 21, 2008, 03:03 AM)

I was going to slipstream, but I simply didn't care enough to take the time to do so. I installed from scratch and updated to SP2 in about 45 minutes, and then let automatic updates have at it. I really should look into it though...-wreckedcarzz (December 01, 2008, 01:02 PM)
The end result is that I no longer feel qualified to express opinions unless I am prepared to do battle, High School Debate Club style. That's not fun, and not why I come here. I am not a newbie -- check my stats.
So, I'll go back to posting fun/amusing doo-dads and leave the heavy debate to the more qualified.
Have fun.-Ralf Maximus (December 01, 2008, 03:37 PM)
I wish I XP provided an option to get rid of all the desktop junk and icon nonsense in favor of a blank screen with a pop-up on right-click menu arrangement like Xfce provides.
I use a combination of no-icon desktop and well-organized Start Menu. Works great.-mrainey (November 30, 2008, 08:33 PM)
) if I had to choose I'd choose functionality before beauty, but true, why not have both-tomos (December 01, 2008, 09:21 AM)
Good point!
So often choices are presented as either a or b when the possibility exists for a or b or a+b-cranioscopical (December 01, 2008, 12:07 PM)

http://www.wikiality.com/Truthiness
Truthiness is what you want the facts to be, as opposed to what the facts are. What feels like the right answer as opposed to what reality will support.
~ Stephen Colbert
October 17, 2005 The Colbert Report[/b]
Truthiness is the reality that is intuitively known without regard to liberal ideals such as reason and logic. It is the truth that is felt deep down, in the gut. It can't be found in books, which are all facts and no heart (except for the one true book, I Am America (And So Can You!) It is absolute, and can only be infallibly known by the gut of Stephen Colbert. It can only be felt by Americans with huge brass balls.
In the past decade, occurrences of truthiness have tripled in the United States. The rest of the world, sadly, lags far behind.
American Dialect Society's Word of the Year
On January 6, 2006, the American Dialect Society announced that truthiness was selected as its 2005 Word of the Year. The Society described its rationale as follows:
"In its 16th annual words of the year vote, the American Dialect Society voted truthiness as the word of the year. First heard on The Colbert Report, a satirical mock news show on the Comedy Channel, truthiness refers to the quality of stating concepts or facts one wishes or believes to be true, rather than concepts or facts known to be true. As Stephen Colbert put it, 'I don't trust books. They're all fact, no heart.'"
Apparently after realizing that "truthiness" was found in the Oxford English Dictionary, the Society later changed the wording of this press release on their website, from "First heard on The Colbert Report..." to "Recently popularized on The Colbert Report..."

RadarSync doesn't even know which Opera version is the latest so how can I trust both? Hmm...-Paul Keith (November 29, 2008, 04:53 PM)
Documentation is the least of their problems.-MrCrispy (November 29, 2008, 02:32 AM)
Linux is not well designed. Its a hodge podge of competing design philosophies with no coherent vision, no standardized API's on which other developers can build apps, and a new project starting every week which tries to fix the failed efforts of the previous ones. Note I am not talking of the kernel, which IS decent, but all the user level subsystems such as video, sound, the filesystem etc.-MrCrispy (November 29, 2008, 02:32 AM)
For your normal user, there is little reason not to run Windows. More apps, easier to use, faster or just as fast (KDE and Gnome are just as fat and bloated as Windows counterparts)
and for most people, Windows will come for free.
For developers, there's even less reason - Windows dev tools, docs and support are leagues apart.
