tar with relative paths
I try to create an archive with tar using relative paths. I use the following command:
Unix & Linux
How do I “cat and follow” a file?
A file is being sequentially downloaded by wget.
How do I make ls sort underscore characters first?
I like being able to name files and directories with an underscore prefix if it’s something I want to keep separate from other files and directories at the same level. On Windows and Mac, for example, prefixing a file with an underscore sorts it to the top, in front of files starting with an alphanumeric character.
What is the difference between a hard link and a file?

Adjusting keyboard sensitivity in a command line terminal?
When using a tty login shell by entering Ctrl-Alt-F1 from an Ubuntu 12.04 install on a laptop the keyboard seems overly sensitive and if my finger lingers for a moment on a button I end up with repeats of the same letter.

I have set up automatic (password less) ssh login to some servers using ssh-copy-id. ssh-agent works only from the terminal where it was run. How do I get ssh-add to work in all my terminals?
How to make Vim display colors as indicated by color codes?
In short, I’m in an effort to replace less with vim (vimpager). I have settings for scripts to spit out colors (and bold and everything nice) whenever they can. less understands the color codes and displays them nicely. How can I make vim parse the codes and display colors/boldness the way less does?
Connection reset by peer using sshfs
I am using a fuse/sshfs mount which worked fine so far. Now I had to reinstall the server system and suddenly getting the classic read: Connection reset by peer error. I am using public key authentication and copied my key to the newly installed system. Normal ssh login works fine. I changed the log to debug but sadly this doesn’t give me any useful information:
What does the Virtual kernel Memory Layout in dmesg imply?
While going through the “Output of dmesg” I could see a list of values which i am not able to understand properly.
