I'm trying to get a guest virtual machine connected to my network using bridging. I've come across a couple of resources online, but they seem to be out of date, deal with xen or Ubuntu or don't seem to be complete. The host is running CentOS 5.5 and I'm using libvirt to manage the VMs so I use i...
I have often started to think about this but never found a good answer. Why are these two unix directories not /user and /temp instead?
All the other directories under root seem to be exactly what one would guess them to be, but these two seem odd, I would have always guessed them as user and te...
I think we should have our own package-management Rosetta Stone... something we can maintain ourselves and refer people to, to avoid what's the equivalent of... questions..
On my mac os 10.6.6 I'm trying to persist env variable $JAVA_HOME but it doesn't stick!
$ export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Once I restart it won't be set anymore. The GUI way to do that is to use the Property List Editor as documented by Apple a...
I have a USB card reader, an Olympus MAUSB-10. It provides direct flash access to SmartMedia or xD cards, using the Linux alauda driver. This is different from a typical card reader which just exposes it as a standard USB mass storage device.
There's drivers in the Linux kernel that will do th...
@Tshepang I like the idea, but I don't think it will be suitable to ask as a question "What's the equivalent of these commands for all distributions?".
@Tshepang Tag wiki, maybe. And the Pacman Rosetta will be a good start to copy from :D
How can I tell if my Debian system is keeping the system time accurate by getting NTP updates? Basically I want to turn this on if it is currently off, but I don't know if it is on or off.
I once thought about a post where people explain why others should and should not choose a distro. It was closed, and I think it was correct to be closed.

Yesterday I installed Debian 6 on my Macbook, with dualboot.
Everything is working fine, except for the keyboard.
As I'm typing, I see the mouse arrow moving a bit and strange things happen, such as text under the arrow being highlighted or clicked.
Other things as Right-Click, selecting text a...
Hey,
could please anybody help me identify what is the source of problem ? the problem is that after some time or after opening a window of some application in X, it seems like I suddenly lost 2d acceleration.

This was easy in Thunar, but now I'm a machine where I'm trying to do everything in the Gnome desktop world.
In Nautilus, I'm in some deep-down folder. How do I open an xterm (rxvt, aterm, gnome's terminal app, whichever) with its working directory already set to the location Nautilus is sh...
I've just gone and removed the unix tag from many questions. It's mostly used on questions migrated from other Stack Exchange sites, on poorly tagged questions, and on questions about the original AT&T Unix product.
I propose using att-unix instead and banning unix.

I've used to think SCP is a tool to copy files over SSH and copying files over SSH is called SFTP which is itself a synonym to FISH.
But now as I was looking for a Total Commander plugin to do this in Windows, I've noticed that on its page its said "Alows to access remote servers via secure FTP ...
