If you’ve been wondering how to install applications without having internet access, I came across the tutorial that shows you how. But I think that you might need to ask someone to help you out while following the instructions. Some of it could be confusing because you need to use two machines to perform […]
I must confess. I have bad command line habits! I make directories and subdirectories, one directory at a time… Meaning, I make a directory then cd to that then make a subdirectory from it. However, I learned today that I don’t have to do that. Thanks to the article: Learn 10 good UNIX […]
