10 favorite Linux tips...
(http://forum.mandrakesoft.com/article.php3?sid=20000904061455)
I just read a Top 10 Tips for Linux Users Top 10 Tips for Linux Users ,
and this made me think...
Everyone has its own favorite tips, any mine are certainly different from his:
I never leave the bash, and use perl + xemacs for most
of the work, so i do not consider "changing a shell"
so important , and there is nothing better for printing
man-pages than xemacs + pretty-print.
The rest is OK, except for the last tip, since you get this
out of the box for Mandrake-linux.
I guess my favorite Linux tip is:
use private/public keypair for ssh! And LM 7.1 comes with a
special surprise: Once you have generated such keypair with
"ssh-keygen", your X-session will be started as ancestor of "ssh-agent".
So, all you have to do is just copy the public key to machines where you want to
log-in,
and make sure to run "ssh-add". For the rest of the day
you will not have to type any passwords. :-))
How about YOUR favorite tips?
