Can't compile kernel in gentoo In alternative to manually using ln, one can also use eselect with the kernel module. eselect is part of the app-admin/eselect package. |

How to create a shortcut to a folder to Documents @m0nhawk: I see your point, but I used the "target" word as in ln(1) man page (see synopsis). The info pages is the same. For me, "target" is where you get when you try to access the symbolic link. You "start" with the symbolic link, and you "end" at the file the symbolic link points to. |

Why people recommend the -j3 option for make when having a dual-core CPU? I accepted this answer. Anyway I chose to stick with -j2 on my system. This is because I tried emerging both gcc and firefox with settings from -j1 up to -j5 (for a total of 10 emerge commands), and it seems that while -j2 is definitely faster than -j1, the other three settings are on par with -j2. |

How to create a shortcut to a folder to Documents @bahamat: Are you sure? ln -s a b will create a symbolic link b to a, so the target (a) comes first, while the source (b) comes after. In cp a b it's exactly the opposite: a is the source, while b is the target, in this order. |

Which distro to study for LPIC? LPIC-1, for example, also require the candidate to know how to use the APT package manager, which is not used in Centos as far as I know. |

Why people recommend the -j3 option for make when having a dual-core CPU? I didn't know that if CPU cores are hyperthreaded, then each of them counts as two. Anyway, it seems that my CPU doesn't support Hyper Threading. |

Find files that were not installed by the package manager Well, I should have said that it's also for finding files that belong to a package that has not been installed via the package manager. I needed a program but no recent ebuild was available, and I have yet to learn how to write ebuilds properly. |

Why did using xargs fail in this case? It is recommended not to parse ls output. |

How do I create a structured list of all the files and directories under a particular directory (recursively)? It's better not to parse ls output: link. |
