The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use - Viewing Text
Dealing with textual matter is the meat of Linux (and of most computing), so there are going to be many chapters about the various aspects of text. This first chapter in this part of the book shows how to view text on your display screen. There are many ways to view or otherwise output text. Some kinds of files -- such as PostScript, DVI, and PDF files -- often contain text in them, but they are technically not text files.

I Ditched Windows...and, So Can You
I've suffered slow computer performance, system crashes, and inexplicable Internet outages for 10 long years. I officially ditched Windows two weeks ago...and, so can you. Long story short, I decided to find another operating system and my first attempt was Linux, the free, open-source operative system (for those of you unfamiliar with Open Source operating systems: show me). Linux: The Good, the Bad, and The Verdict The Good – The transfer to and installation of Ubuntu Linux was shockingly easy and refreshingly seamless. My computer is now blazingly fast, all of my hardware devices were instantly recognized (even my tablet screen) and, no more system crashes. The Bad – I still need Windows for a few programs. The Verdict – Linux serves 90% of my computer needs. Why Didn't I go Mac? 1). 2). 3). So, if you’re using Windows and want to ditch it, click here to begin a less stressful life Gregory Ferenstein
Linux Toolkit - A Tool 2 Cool 4 U
Linux Toolbox Back to Contents Ah, the Linux Toolbox. Remember the Acme Toolkit? Well, this is 10 times better. Guaranteed to catch the RoadRunner! nc (netcat) Yup, the ol' tried and true swiss army knife of networking - netcat. cryptcat Well, improving upon netcat we have cryptcat. stunnel Very similar to netcat and cryptcat, but stunnel uses SSL to encrypt the data. OpenSSH Hopefully no one is using Telnet anymore. nmap Another classic from days past . . . nmap (Network Mapper). Cheops Another very cool tool for mapping networks. dsniff A very sick collection of tools for network auditing and pen-testing (and a favorite among those rogue employees!). Firewalk Firewalk is a useful tool for assisting in the determination of ACLs on network gateways and in mapping networks. hping A very cool TCP/IP packet assembler & analyzer. HUNT HUNT is another questionable tool. nemesis Nemesis is a tool useful for pen-testing as well as a low level learning aid. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
HowTo/CpuFrequencyScaling
Translation(s): English - Русский Dynamic CPU frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a technique in computer architecture where a processor is run at a less-than-maximum frequency in order to conserve power (src: Wikipedia). The Linux kernel CPUfreq subsystem provides this ability on Debian Linux systems. Enabling Note: In most cases, this should be enabled automatically during Debian installation. Install the cpufrequtils package: aptitude install cpufrequtils Configuration Specify the governor to use at boot Edit /etc/default/cpufrequtils (you might need to create it if it doesn't exist). # valid values: userspace conservative powersave ondemand performance # get them from cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors GOVERNOR="conservative" Keeping the governor settings between boots Install sysfsutils: aptitude install sysfsutils The sysfs values will be configured in /etc/sysfs.conf.
