I tried google, but without more keywords, rc was too little to search. apt-cache is great: Description-en: implementation of the ATT Plan 9 shell rc is a command interpreter and programming language similar to sh(1). It is based on the ATT Plan 9 shell of the same name. The shell offers a C-like syntax (much more so than the C shell), and a powerful mechanism for manipulating variables. It is reasonably small and reasonably fast, especially when compared to contemporary shells. Its use is intended to be interactive, but the language lends itself well to scripts.

I tried google, but without more keywords, rc was too little to search. When I search for a package's description, I first use debian's informations. With apt-cache if I am running my debian, or with http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=foobar if I am not using it. The 2nd is really nice to know if a package is available in other versions of debian ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The 2nd is really nice to know if a package is available in other versions of debian ;) That's useful regarding to Debian packages, however, searching the web for information, the first search engine I would use is Google. Even if I would search information about the character a, I would search for letter a and similar and not for a, maybe letter a sesame street. Searching for rc is naive ;), I would start with rc shell, in this case it's ok, if it wouldn't be ok I would continue with shell rc, rc shell linux etc., unexperienced users might search for rc linux, this would be understandable, but searching for rc unlikely will lead to something useful. *chuckle* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
