A: How to run a command on a list of files? If I just used `find` to generate a list of files, then find's `-exec` argument is usually the way to run some other program on each file found. If you pipe the command to `xargs`, note that `-P n` will run up to n commands in parallel. The best value of n will depend on the relative usage of y... (more) |

A: What does a minimal /etc/hosts need to contain? Technically, you don't need an /etc/hosts file at all if you have some other form of name resolution available - i.e. DNS. In practice, what you have will work nicely, and could be cut down to just the 2 localhost entries. (more) |

A: Which Linux system to use? Beginners should always start with a Linux that people around them are using. If they have friends using Red Hat, they should use Red Hat. If they have a local users' group with lots of Ubuntu users, they should use Ubuntu. Local support is much more important than anything else when starting out ... (more) |

I don't think I can agree with you. According to the filesystem, file classes are "directory", "fifo", "symbolic link", "hard link, etc. Interpreting the significance of the contents of a file is extremely specific to the task that the user is trying to accomplish.

A: How to configure GNOME Keyring to by default NOT automatically unlock keyrings whenever logged in, on Debian? Two things: First, if you create a second keyring, one not named login.keyring, it will not be automatically unlocked on login. Second, GNOME has a policy that they don't let users configure things that the developers don't want them to configure, so you probably cannot change the default check... (more) |
