Running an executable in PATH with the same name as an existing function It is not a buildin on Solaris 10 Bourne (That is also available as heirloom-sh). The advantages of an executable with a known path is that it can't be overwritten by a function. |

Synchronize software packages between different Linux distributions For those two specific distributions, it might be easier than say Ubuntu and Fedora... Ubuntu and Mint use the same package manager and Mint is based on Ubuntu. Is it one way (like the other comment seem to indicate) or a continuous two-way syncronization? |
