Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.

List installed RPM Packages sans version numbers

  • rpm -qa --qf="%{name}\n"
    • Try as I might, I always had problems finding how to do this. And I'd sworn I'd bookmarked it previously (from a previously found source). If I had, I used odd tags. Hopefully I'll now to be able to (quickly) find this in my Diigo bookmarks the next time I need it...

      I just thought I'd share. :D

Linux Today - Editor's Note: Ubuntu Is Not Our Savior

  • And no matter how superior Ubuntu becomes, Gentoo, Slackware, Red Hat, Fedora, and Debian are more important because they are the primal Linuxes. Everything else flows from them. They are the progenitors, and are essential.


    Let's also remember non-Linux FOSS operating systems such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. From these also come herds of wonderful things such as routers, firewalls, drivers, network stacks, and stout high-demand servers. (Take a look at the top servers on Netcraft.)
