Editing output of command as a new command you can even run fc immediately after history -s $(xsel -op) or print -s $(xsel -op) if you want to edit the command in $EDITOR (vi, nano, whatever). |

The simplest method to count lines matching specific patterns, including '0' if line is not found? +1, nice answer. you can use grep's -h or --no-filename option to stop grep from printing filenames. e.g. grep -h -o -f patterns.in logfile.txt patterns.in sort | uniq -c | awk '{print($1 - 1" "$2)}' |

What is the difference between grep -e and grep -E option? the functionality is the same between basic and extended but the syntax is slightly different. regexp special chars like (, ), | etc need to be backslash-escaped to have their special meaning in basic regexp, but not in extended (where they need to be escaped to be treated as a string literal) |

Spreading stdin to parallel processes why are you using -l 1 in the parallel args? IIRC, that tells parallel to process one line of input per job (i.e. one filename per fork of myjob, so lots of startup overhead). |

Getting newer version of GEOS than what is available in Debian repositories Versioned dependency resolution is a feature, not a bug. BTW, more fine-grained control over what apt installs can be achieved with apt's pinning feature...but setting the default release is good enough for many use-cases. |

Getting newer version of GEOS than what is available in Debian repositories Not if you only add the wheezy source repositories. Or you can add the binary repos but configure apt to use squeeze by default by adding APT::Default-Release "squeeze"; to /etc/apt/apt.conf or to a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ |

mutt responsive way to refresh inbox Some imap servers have agressive timeout settings and will drop the connection if you spend more than a minute or so reading (or replying) to an email. I ran into this issue with the Exchange server at work and ended up giving up on using mutt as an imap client...used fetchmail (using procmail as mda) instead. |

How to restore default group/user ownership of all files under /var? True, but dpkg -S is slow (which is why i wrote dlocate). Good point about dpkg-statoverride, though....and the output format is perfect. |

Do you feel strongly about using package managers vs. installing manually? @ultra: debian not only has good package-management tools, it also has well-defined and documented policies saying how things should and should not be done. the latter tends to discourage maintainers from making mediocre or bad packages. Fedora only has good package-management tools (dpkg and rpm are roughly as good as each other, with some relatively minor pluses and minuses for each)...it doesn't have the strict enforcement of policies. Third-party packages can be even worse, proprietary pkgs are usually awful in my experience. |
