An end to tweaking
I'm tired of the reduced functionallity of Windows. It's getting worse with tweaking, so OK, here's my OS want list, two things: I used to write batch files under DOS. I even...

the Black Sun and said:

Depends on exactly what it is that you want to do. mc is (mostly) a command-line file manager. mutt, slrn, and emacs are examples of command-line mail, NNTP, and complete operating environments. They're not really "menu-driven" though.

People who love the command line and want IDE-like environments tend to gravitate to emacs. There are all kinds of hooks within emacs and vim for working with source code--find man page for function under cursor, auto-complete word under cursor, use ctags to find definition of function under cursor, etcetera. emacs also can work with gdb, which vim seems to have a harder time doing.

"Undelete" doesn't really work on ext3 or ReiserFS for various technical reasons. If you're using ext2, you really shouldn't be, since ext3 has journalling. It may be possible to simulate undelete by grepping the entire filesystem, but that takes forever. The steps to take, really, are:

0. Regular backups. 1. Use "rm -i". 2. Use KDE-GNOME-your window manager's "trash can". 3. Install one of the "libtrash" libraries that use various tricks to turn unlink() into rename(".trash-originalfilename") or something like that.

It doesn't, unless you use mount-by-label, which has some problems if you have 2 or more filesystems with the same label. And you should not putroot on a parbreastion that's separate from . bin ,sbin ,lib ,etc ,root , anddev must be on .

usr dev-hdXY ext3 noatime 1 2home dev-hdXY ext3 noatime 1 2

...replace with the appropriate device node names, the appropriate mountpoints, and the appropriate filesystem types.
