Fedora
Time Bug
The question
of setting time comes up frequently. Setting the timezone and the system clock
can be confusing, particularly if the machine is dual boot. Nowadays I don't see
too many of those...

Check
List For Linux Security
Linux
is an amazing operating system considering how it was originally created. It was
a modest program written for one person as a hobby - Linus Torvald of Finland.
It has grown into a full-fledge 32-bit operating system. It is solid, stable and
provides support for an incredible number of applications. It has very powerful
capabilities and runs very fast and rarely crashes.

Bash
Aliases
Most shells
have some provision for aliases. Aliases can assign default behavior to a command
(for example "rm" is often aliased to "rm -i") or can be used to create new commands
(a typical example is "ll" aliased to be "ls -l").

Personal
Dictionary For Ispell
Ispell
works well, but it has to be the most confused project I've ever seen. I started
looking into this because I got tired of seeing the same common words pop up for
correction and wanted to add those words to some file that would cause Ispell
to ignore them.

SCO
Unable To Prove Its Linux Claims
The disclosure
of a 2002 email demonstrates its investigation of Linux source code found no infringement.
The August 13, 2002 email from Michael Davidson to Reg Broughton, later forwarded
to new SCO CEO Darl McBride, seems to indicate SCO's claims of copyright infringement...

Bitkeeper,git
(patch Maintenance)
Kernel
programmers need to keep track of patches. That's pretty obvious, but what isn't
immediately obvious to those of us who aren't kernel developers is just how onerous
that task is for Linux kernels. Enter Bitkeeper , a SCM (Source Code Management)
tool that dulls the pain and attends to the nasty details, leaving the developer
more time to focus on development.
