Acer Aspire One!

For anyone that's actually used Linux, you just need the console, it just doesn't feel like Linux without the console, but where was it hiding? Getting to the console: 1) Click on Files 2) Click on My Documents 3) Open the File Manager 4) Go to File 5) Click on Terminal Next, enable the right click menu so we can get to the terminal easier: 1) Open the xfce settings $ xfce-setting-show 2) Click on Desktop 3) Click on Behavior 4) Put a check in the box beside "Show desktop menu on right click" 5) Click on Close More good stuff here: http://jorge.ulver.no/2008/08/06/acer-aspire-one-tips-and-tricks/ I like the regular desktop, there's a good tutorial here, except he doesn't back up any of his files before he goes on his modification spree.

IPv4 and IPv6 Reception with rsyslog

Back in the day, when you wanted to change the default protocols rsyslog would listen on, you would modify the /etc/default/rsyslog file, and set the RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS variable accordingly. In rsyslog 8.x, this has changed, now, we control these parameters through the main rsyslog configuration file, and in within the global parameters. For instance, if we wanted to only listen on IPv6, then we would add the following lines to the main rsyslog configuration. # vi /etc/rsyslog.conf global(     net.ipprotocol="ipv4-only" ) Reference:  https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/rainerscript/global.html

Usually when I try and delete the windows folder I get an Error Deleting File (Macromedia something or other) Cannot delete FILE: Access is deined. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. [OK] Right click, Properties (Trying to take the "Read Only" flag off will result in an Error Applying Attributes message and say Access is denied.) Click on the Security Tab (If it's missing you need to disable Simple File Sharing) Remove "Everyone" from the list, and click OK Delete the file Guessing here, I believe windows uses the most restrictive permissions and the permissions for everyone (from the last installation) were locked. I don't have another file to test this with unfortunately, so I'll check that some other day
