Is it possible to execute a sub-command from a Gnome Shell launcher? Thank you! This is apparently what I've been looking for. The piece I added is in my .bashrc I've aliased geany to point to my new executable (alias geany=/usr/local/bin/geany2), which appears to be more reliable for some reason than aliasing to the original ---socket-file command. |

Suggested setup for an ultra-lightweight text-based programming environment in linux Seconding the "light distro" approach. It really forces you to get your hands dirty, even if they lay it out for you command by command (the Gentoo Install Handbook is excellent), because every system is different. The initial install doesn't even give you X, so you're stuck on the command line. |

How can I configure Wine's default paper settings? I've worked around this by installing Office in a different bottle, but I'm going to leave this question open in case someone has an answer. I'll hold onto the original bottle for testing. |

Why can't I use the REJECT policy on my iptables OUTPUT chain? That's pretty interesting. The curiosity in me wonders if there's a reason behind it, or if that's just how things are, possibly for simplicity's sake (simpler code means fewer possible spots for vulnerabilities after all). If I were even a moderate developer I might be tempted to hack it in locally, but since I'm not, and given it's a piece of security, I'm not gonna touch it. |

Why can't I use the REJECT policy on my iptables OUTPUT chain? That makes sense, and a generic REJECT at the end should work. Out of curiosity, is the target extension definition somewhere fairly obvious and I just missed it, or is that one of the poorly documented bits? |

Why can't I use the REJECT policy on my iptables OUTPUT chain? Couldn't the REJECT ICMP packet return on the lo interface? I agree that a LOG is useful for troubleshooting, but what I was really hoping for is a way to remind me that "Oh, yeah...that's probably being blocked by my DROP iptables default" instead of troubleshoots for 5 minutes asks co-worker to access XYZ server realizes it's probably local, which is my most common approach, since my typical workday rarely hits things I haven't opened a hole for already. Of course maybe I need to keep that in mind better, but a flat REJECT is more obvious. |

Is there any advantage of using Iceweasel and Firefox? According to the IceCat Wikipedia page, IceCat is actually GNU IceCat, and is distributed by the GNU Project. Debian's version is still referred to as IceWeasel. Just wanted to clarify, based on your "Apparently it's IceCat now" statement :-) |
