I am just fooling around on my terminal (Gnome terminal). I was wondering is there a way to send output of one terminal to another without having to make a new file or pipe.
I know a bit about *NIX text editors (currently migrating from nano to vim), and, after looking around a bit on the Unix & Linux SE, have noticed that vi is used instead of ‘vim’ in a fair number of questions.

I rent a VPS that uses a SSD of 10GB (Debian 7) and I upgraded yesterday to their “second tier” plan that uses a 20GB disk. However, the “one-click-upgrade” process didn’t work as I expected and what they did was to move my data to a bigger drive without actually extending the partitions.

I’m looking for somthing like top is to CPU usage. Is there a command line argument for top that does this? Currently, my memory is so full that even ‘man top’ fails with out of memory 🙂
When doing an apt-get upgrade I sometimes get a message saying “The following packages have been kept back”. For example:
Is there a way to zip all files in a given directory with the zip command? I’ve heard of using *.*, but I want it to work for extensionless files, too.
