Stop identifying yourself to the world. Stop giving away personally identifiable information about yourself on forum posts, facebook, twitter, or any other social sites.

Ever want to see the structure of some directories from the command line just like you can in a nautilus or windows explorer interface? Try the UNIX port of the DOS tree utility. Chances are you probably already have it installed on your desktop system.

ARM is greater than Intel for power consumption vs performance. ARM processors will win the tablet/laptop war in the long run. There, I said it. Unless they make some serious pitfalls, ARM should have a serious stranglehold on the future of tablet PC’s and other mobile devices.

Start the spec file with %define statements at the top. Continue the spec file as you would normally, using the variables you just defined in place of the real name, version, build.

Whether that desktop environment is KDE, GNOME, Xfce, or one of the more obscure offerings, that choice is up to you. You can mix and match from different terminals too. The exceptions to this rule would be forensics distributions and a barebones secure installation that would either have a desktop environment but choose not to load it or it might not be installed at all.
