PS/2 to USB port for keyboard gives “unable to enumerate USB device on port 5” @Lekensteyn: No idea, I never solved this. If you do, be sure to write your solution here as likely this question will attract more people with the same problem. |

How to define a Compose Key in terminal (no desktop environment)? That seem to cat the file, but no, there are no errors on echo $? at least, and no output to stderr. Also, file tells me it is UTF-8 so it makes sense. |

How to define a Compose Key in terminal (no desktop environment)? Thanks, got it to work. Only, I had to change compose 'a' 'a' to 'å' into compose 'o' 'a' to U+00E5, otherwise loadkeys complained about a syntax error. |

How to save current command on zsh? Another way to solve that would be to have a tabbed terminal. Just open a new tab. |

How to save current command on zsh? @michelpm: Yeah? Try zsh --version. I have zsh 4.3.17 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) and it works for me. (Edit: Oh. That's what you did.) |

how to change `rm` to as a command like `mv ~/ .trash` Why do you suggest shadow-aliasing rm when you know it is not recommended? You should change your answer, and not put that in a comment (since it is important). I know you know it, but for the OP - @misteryes - check out this. |

Why is the UNIX kernel so crucial? I know you are able to write a much better answer than this. Otherwise, this answer would fit in a comment (as to its length). |

Colorize Bash Console Color @Brad: Yes, you need to change the fourth (4th) digit to 255 (or any digit higher than what you have now: 170 and 85) for red and green to make it brighter. The first digit has index 0, so the fourth digit has index 3. This is why, when you use this color, you use tput setaf 3 (and not 4). |

Why is the UNIX kernel so crucial? The kernel is vital to any OS. In a way, the kernel is the OS: without it, your computer is a non-interactive machine. The kernel is the program that turns the machine into a tool. It is the process that always runs, from which you fork processes (a program to run programs). Process management, memory allocation (and protection), hardware I/O, the filesystem, resource allocation (the CPU), the kernel does all this. The kernel, while software, is the interface between the machine (hardware) and anything you do with a computer (with software!). It is not a Unix specific thing. |

.bashrc alias not working If you do lots of changes to the rc file, as I suspect you will, you could be helped by an alias like this: alias bup="hash -r; unalias -a; source ~/.bashrc". The third part is the most important one. Faster to type than the source (or .) command with the filepath. Or even better, put it in a script (i.e., another file) so it will still work even though you break the rc file (e.g., by a typo). Or, you could put that line first in .bashrc, that would be sort of the same. |

How to get the GNOME version? @SuperMagic: Those numbers are fairly consistent, although it is irritating not to be able to get a definite answer. My /usr/share/gnome/gnome-version.xml says 3.4.2, but gnome-session --version says 3.4.2.1 so that's sort of correct (?). Maybe the morale of all of this is that the version isn't holy; it is just a number. |
