Are you using Fedora Core? At my new job, I've had to learn all about it. :/ I find I like the command line less than I used to.    → comment by vinny9 (#33) on May 19, 2005 Fedora Core? Ha! I'm on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. It's served me nicely so far.    → comment by dustin (#1) on May 19, 2005 The command line is a beautiful thing... I'm using IRIX at work and Mandrake at home. My only complaint about IRIX is that the GUI is pretty bare bones, and it makes otherwise simple operations more arduous when you need to do them from the command line. On the plus side I've been able to hand huge amounts of my workload over to a few scripts. which shell do you guys work in?    → comment by kingCasey (#60) on May 20, 2005 Hehe, IRIX, that's awesome. I use bash as my shell since it's the Linux standard, and so there's tons of info and support for it out and about. I agree that shells scripts are a thing of beauty. I've also been playing around with the command line version of php as a scripting language, and I use apache ant for all my software building needs.    → comment by dustin (#1) on May 20, 2005 bash    → comment by vinny9 (#33) on May 20, 2005 I've spent a bunch of time getting to know csh at work, and bash is quite a bit different, I guess it'll come with time.    → comment by KingCasey (#60) on May 21, 2005 I used tcsh for a while and there was a hiccup when I switched, but it's all worked out nicely now. I just saw a page with some bash tips, so I post it here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6915    → comment by dustin (#1) on May 22, 2005 To download a torrent with the client: % wget http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/BitTorrent-4.0.2.tar.gz % Untar, cd BitTorrent directory % ./bittorrent-console.py --url torrenturl --save_as myfile.ext You can use a later version of BT, but the BT sources eventually require Twisted, which is an extra dependency that I wanted to avoid.    → comment by Connelly Barnes on July 3, 2007 Sorry that last command was supposed to be btdownloadheadless.py. If you have lots of servers, you can start them all downloading a torrent and perhaps make the download go faster.    → comment by Connelly Barnes on July 3, 2007 thanks, i owe you :). Very clear explanation, keep up the good work mate.    → comment by yuda on February 3, 2012
