I’m trying to Create OS detect portable function in bash script,
As I understand it, the hosts file is one of several system facilities that assists in addressing network nodes in a computer network. But what should be inside it? When I install Ubuntu by default
In any linux system I have access to (a couple of Archlinuxes, an Ubuntu, a Debian Sid and a Gentoo) there are the following 4 files in /etc/, all ending with a dash:
I see more and more servers that have no domain defined in the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Only a search entry.
In what cases is this setup used ?
Are there any cases where it must not be used ?
I know this question has been asked before, but I do not accept the answer, “you can clearly see custom additions”. When I add ppa’s (which I have not done in years), I hit a key on my keyboard labeled “Enter” which allows me to add an empty line before the new entry (I would even add an explanatory comment, but I am a tech writer, so ….). I like my sources.conf clean and neat.
