comment Is it possible to reference the most recently modified file in a command line argument?
thanks, this is simple and will definitely work for my purposes (who the heck puts newlines in a filename!?)

comment Which GNU/Linux distribution for a 12-year old system?
@haydoni I haven't tried the LXDE desktop but I am running Xubuntu with the fluxbox window manager and it runs pretty good on a similar box. Its not for gaming but you can get most done.

Puppy is good and certainly works awesome live w/o the install but it has a more limited package selection than running a debian derivative with a lightweight desktop or window manager.

DSL is no longer being maintained. If you want super small distros then I would go with Puppy or TinyCore

comment How do I remove a Read-only file system from a usb drive
@ennuikiller - that is what I ultimately had to do. I was trying to see if there was a more subtle or elegant way of doing it in an effort to better understand what was going on. In the end that was all that worked though.

@boehj - seriously! I am glad I didn't have anything else on that USB so I could just go with the nuclear option.

thanks for the suggestion. Mounting as rw alone doesn't work - it looks like I may have to go with your second suggestion to just remake the file system.

thanks for the suggestion. It appeared to remount as rw but it still didn't allow me to remove it... even with rm -f as root.
