By Anderson Silva and Steve 'Ashcrow' Milner Remember how tabbed browsing revolutionized the web experience? GNU Screen can do the same for your experience in the command line. Screen allows you to manage several interactive shell instances within the same "window". By using different keyboard shortcuts, you can shuffle through the shell instances, access any of them directly, create new ones, kil

"Linux Gazette...making Linux just a little more fun!" Have you ever redirected the output of a curses program with colors and wondered what those mysterious ^[[ are?

This article attempts to explain those mysterious characters that one finds in the output of a curse

By Pramode C.E. The Python programming language's support for generators is described in PEP 255. This article demonstrates a few simple programs which make use of this feature to do some fun stuff like filtering out prime numbers, representing an `infinite' series expansion in a finite way, applying the Euler `accelerator' to make a series converge faster etc. Many of the programs which I describ

By Justin Piszcz INTRO I recently purchased a Western Digital 250GB/8M/7200RPM drive and wondered which journaling file system I should use. I currently use ext2 on my other, smaller hard drives. Upon reboot or unclean shutdown, e2fsck takes a while on drives only 40 and 60 gigabytes. Therefore I knew using a journaling file system would be my best bet. The question is: which is the best? In order

By Justin Piszcz Introduction After the last article was published, I have received more than a dozen requests for a second filesystem benchmark using the 2.6 kernel. Since that time, I have converted entirely to XFS for every Linux machine I use, so I may be a bit bias regarding the XFS filesystem. I tried to keep the hardware roughly the same. Instead of a Western Digital 250GB and Promise ATA/1

By Krishna G Pai When programming, in any language, the capability to spawn worker threads is integral to the performance of any application. Whether it be running a separate thread to handle user interaction in a GUI app, while running a potentially blocking process in the background (like your browser is doing now), threading is essential. This document attempts to show what is possible and what

By Jimmy O'Regan Flickr is a photo-sharing service: it allows you to share your photos with friends, family, or the public in general. Flickr caters to "moblogging": photo blogging from mobile phones, which is a great part of the appeal to me.
