Linux
General Linux Stuff
Things that I need to document about linux will go here.
Current Distribution of Choice:
Ubuntu: Why? It’s fairly simple, clean, well supported and a little bit further ahead than my previously used Debian Linux. Not to be confused, since it is a dirivitive of Debian and relies heavily on Debian’s repository for resource. I still like Debian and everything they stand for. Just now, Ubuntu is more for my desktop.

Search & Replace in Text Files
perl -pi~ -e 's/foo/bar/' [files]
This uses Perl regular expresssions. Where foo is what to find, bar is what to replace it with and [files] is the files to work with. This also creates backup files with ~ appended.
