Re: [arch-general] Colorized Output Listing

2010-08-20 Thread Emmanuel Gras
if you want to customize the colors of ls output, edit the LS_COLORS
env variable. details here :
http://www.linux-sxs.org/housekeeping/lscolors.html
you can place that in your .bashrc, and you can set very usefull reg
exp, like *.log, ...

 ls --color | less  =  colorized output


Cheers,

Re: [arch-general] A universal Operating System API - why don't we have it?

  You cannot write an
  application for windows and expect it to work on Linux.

 Java? The success of the language is based around the fact that almost
 every computer has the runtime installed, regardless of operating
 system. Does that not count as a global API?

saying java is good because it runs on all platforms is like saying anal
sex is great because it works on all genders
