| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | apt-get autoclean = same as "apt-get clean" but only removes package archives which are obsolete (no longer in repsitories). Having run "apt-get clean it's pointless to run this command.

| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | [tab] key in X Terminal autocompletes words e.g. "rm -r /home/opt/themes/sun[tab] will finish the word as "sunset". Double [tab] would give you all the files starting with "sun". "rm -r /home/opt/[tab][tab] shows you what's in that "themes" folder | + | |

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' grep zen = nicer view
| + | |
| - | | + | |
