What's Root?
Root is the super-ultra-mega. All system commands on a Linux box need to be done as root. This means installing software and changing files not in your /home directory, etc. In your terminal, if you're logged in already become root by typing su at your $ prompt, then the root password. Log in the system directly as root from a terminal, but not the graphical login. # shows root.

dediantutorials.org is ad-free
debiantutorials.org has always been and will always remain ad-free I make no unrealistic demands that you "owe me for my time and bandwidth" in order to use my site. I detest all those scumbags out there that think that they are owed something for putting a web site up. I do debiantutorials.org because I love it. You owe me nothing.

Most of the time, Microsoft's public declarations are pretty easy to parse. A bit of pre-announcement here, a touch of FUD there, with the odd dollop of feel-good waffle thrown in for good measure. Occasionally, though, it produces what can only be called a googly ? not to be confused with a Google ? with announcements like this one about adding support for ODF in Microsoft Office:

Bash Input Redirection

If you use the shell you surely know about redirection:
