What is something new that you have learned about Linux this week?
by KGIII from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56TWP)
It may seem trivial - and it is, but I realized I could use bash alias profiles by simply loading different alias sources.
In other words, I have /.bash_aliases & /.bash_aliases2 and they can be loaded with `source /.bash_alias*` as needed.
Sure, it seems trivial - but I previously was unaware of this. It made me pretty happy to discover this, even though I seldom bother switching between them.
So, however trivial, what's something new that you learned about Linux in the past 7 days?
Note: I think this would make a great idea for a weekly/recurring thread, but I really doubt I've got the motivation to keep it going long-term. We'll see how it goes!
