CLI Magic: ifup, ifdown, ifstatus
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 7th of February 2006 02:12:00 PM Filed under
I've always assumed that ifup and ifdown were conditional commands that performed their assigned duties only if the interface device in question was up or down, as the command might be. I was dead wrong. I blame my mistake on being a programmer, rather than being stupid, but it's simply too close to call.

Setting up international character support
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 7th of February 2006 02:05:25 AM Filed under

| 10 Great Linux GTK Themes For 2018
Customization is a big part of the Linux experience, and your desktop theme is no exception. The world of Linux desktop themes is an ever-evolving one, with new ones replacing old favorites all the time. Of course, the desktop environments and GTK itself are always changing, so that adds another dynamic element to consider. That said, some of the best desktop customization happens on the simplest desktop environments, like XFCE.
As of now, in early 2018, there are some really excellent GTK themes available. These themes aren’t ranked in any particular order. That comes down to a matter or preference. Any one of them can add a whole new look to your GTK-based desktop.
