    HOW TO: use the command line effectively

    GUIs are pretty (sometimes), but they aren't always the most efficient tool. For troubleshooting work, or for tasks that iterate through long sequences of similar steps, nothing beats the command line. It can feel quite satisfying to discover or work out neat command-line sequences, and I try to share those here.

    Yesterday I stumbled across CommandLineFu.com:

    ...is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again. Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.

    We've discussed it before http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthr...nd-line-kungfu, but a reminder never hurts (the thread is old and it's a great resource)
