I’m starting a new “series” (Journals of a Penguin == JP; Woo hoo!). It’ll be my boring notes on using Linux, configuring Linux and Linux applications.

• Send a keepalive packet every 30 seconds in SSH (I missed this from PuTTY)
  echo "ServerAliveInterval 30" >> /etc/ssh/ssh_config
• htop – top with more bells and whistles (…and colors)
  

  an interactive process viewer for Linux. It is a text-mode application (for console or X terminals) and requires ncurses. Tested with Linux 2.4 and 2.6.

• Devil’s Pie
  

  A window-matching utility, inspired by Sawfish’s “Matched Windows” option and the lack of the functionality in Metacity.
