A web interface to browse the man pages along with perldoc or info pages for all the Linux commands.

Quite useful if you are on windows and want to quickly look at some reference for Linux command. Otherwise too quite intuitive and interesting and easy to browse.

Google staff dropping Windows for Macs, Linux PCs

2010-06-02 1 min read Linux Uncategorized

For those who keep saying this is not the year of linux and probably it will never be 🙂

Google is abandoning the use of Windows by its staff as it\’s too much of a security threat, multiple staffers said Monday night. Recent concerns about Chinese hacks have the search firm requiring either a Mac or Linux for all new recruits to provide better security. Those who want Windows now often require explicit approval from executives and may not have any choice on desktops where it\’s only an option for notebooks.

Key bindings for screen command

2010-06-01 3 min read Linux

Key bindings

screen commands consist of a command character (Ctrl-a by default) followed by another character. For many of the commands, you can also specify the character as Ctrl-character–e.g., Ctrl-a Ctrl-d as well as Ctrl-a d. The default key bindings are listed here. You can change the bindings for yourself in the $HOME/.screenrc configuration file, or for all users in /etc/screenrc. The term in parentheses that follows the description is the equivalent configuration-file command for changing the key binding.
