The day has come when my cheerful office sharing mate, which also happens to be my better half, left our department in search for better luck. The change wasn't that drastic moving to a different department in the same company but it still feels strange sharing the office with only a bird.

As a meagre consolation today I played a bit with my Debian installation from where I'm also writing this post. I've learned a couple of things also:-

Debian Packaging 101:-
apt-get install [package-name] => Installs a package
apt-cache search [package-name] => Search for a package in the defined apt sources
dpkg -L [package-name] => List all the files that make up a package (like rpm -ql in Red Hat)
dpkg -l => List all packages

Others:-
ls -lhSR | grep "[0-9][G|M]" => lists all files sorted by size (-S), recurse through directories (R) keeping only those files in Megabytes of GB. I crafted this to check which files are taking most space in some directories.
cat >> [file] << "EOF" => Open the file for writing (append in this case) and you can enter multiple lines. End the input with EOF.
