Linux Stuff

I know at least a couple others might be running Linux out there.
I've been tinkering with my aliases and wanted to share.

`cd` will take you to the root of your home dir. ;)

Here are a few aliases I have found useful:
# admin
alias ps 'ps -eHo user,pid,args --sort pid'
alias df 'df -lh'
alias du 'du -h --max-depth=1'
alias dus 'du -sh'

# time my way
alias date 'date +"%Y-%m-%d %T %z"'

# list
alias ll 'ls -lh'
alias l. 'ls -d .* --color=tty'
alias la 'ls -lha'

TGood ones :)

I use cd and ~ interchangeably now, Also I like the idea of being able to quickly launch the file browser from the terminal.

I do that on my work computer, like to launch the vmware console or keepass. The power of '&' after a command.

all my aliases are for weird DoD specific apps at work. I never seem to have enough follow through to actually have any one particular disto installed for more than a month here nowadays. =(

I always used it inside a VirtualBox until I was comfortable enough to switch over completely. Though I'm hardly a guru at this point, with time it get easier :p

Also, I use Ubuntu here, it seems like it just work out of the box. With others I would always have to tweak and tinker to get it working.
