All,

[Delete the first take. I omitted the URL.]

Stumbled across this cute little page of Linux/Unix commands. Very nice
little presentation:

o   Linux Commands - A practical reference
   http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html

Five things chosen at random from that page that I didn't know:

1.  grep --color reference /usr/share/dict/words
   Highlight occurrences of regular expression in dictionary

2.  wget --limit-rate=20k url
   Do a low priority download (limit to 20KB/s in this case)

3.  iwlist scan
   List wireless networks in range

4.  date -d fri
   What date is it this friday. See also day

5.  recode /qp.. < file.txt > file.qp
   Quoted printable decode

Forwarded FYI,
Eric
