6700 free and redistributable fonts for Linux.

Today I was searching for some good fonts for my desktop running Fedora 11 – Leonidas. In my quest to find the required fonts that I would liked, I reached some good sites so just thought would share the same with you.

First, how do you use them, simple steps:

mkdir ~/.fonts

Now you can put your fonts in this directory. You can make sub-directories to keep your fonts organized. On F11, I did not need to refresh the font server or logout and login. 🙂

Mod your gnome desktop, change the colors the easy way.

Install the autoten application. You can find the instructions in my earlier post today <a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/2009/04/20/autoten-install-nvidia-gnome-color-chooser-and-many-others-in-one-click-on-fedora/">here.

Gnome color chooser is an application to allow you to change the color of your gnome DE in all aspects. Very easy to use GUI. Just install it and run it as gnome-color-chooser. Here&#8217;s a screenshot of the application.

<img class="size-full wp-image-751" title="Gnome Color Chooser" src="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gnomecolorchooser.jpg" alt="Gnome Color Chooser" width="346" height="445" />

The beauty of this application is that it allows to use XML files as input so there are lot of possibilities. And one of the most lucarat5ive ones is to download a pack of color schemes from <a href="http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/84941-daX_UltraPack220_3v2_gnomecc.tar.bz2">here.  This has 220 theme colors to select from in the form of XML files which can be used directly with Gnome Color Chooser. So enjoy.

Useless use of cat awards

<a href="http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#cat">Here you will find some useless use of cat command in linux. Really interesting and quite informative.

Useless Use of Cat Award

If you&#8217;ve been reading <a href="news:comp.unix.shell">comp.unix.shell or any of the related groups <a href="news:comp.unix.questions">(comp.unix.questions inter alia) for any amount of time, this should be a familiar topic.

I made this web page on the topic primarily so I&#8217;d have a simpler URL than one of those ghastly Deja News searches to hand to people. I&#8217;ve tried to reconstruct Randal&#8217;s standard form letter from looking at his postings <a href="http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#forms">(see end) and added some comments of my own.

Getting the list of IOCTLS in the kernel.

Sometime back I was helping one of my friends in looking for all the IOCTLs supported by the kernel. Well we did not find the info we were looking for and thus thought to write a perl script to get all the IOCTLS supported by the kernel. Here it is, simple script to scan through the code and give you a list:

#!/usr/bin/perl —

@files = `grep -r &#8221; _IO&#8221; /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/linux-2.6.20/* |grep define ioctls_grep`;
open (DAT, &#8221;ioctls_grep&#8221;) ||die &#8221;could not open ioctls_grep&#8221;;
@files = DAT;
close(DAT);
my %ioctls_numbers;
print &#8221;Grep completed..\n&#8221;;
open (DAT, &#8221;ioctls_numbers_found&#8221;);
