- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

cat is actually used to concatenate files so if you have two files that you want to merge into a third one you can do
cat file1 file2 > file3
Especially useful for cracking old games

HE SAID IT'S ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR CRACKING OLD GAMES!
I've used cat to actually concatenate files a lot to re-assemble old Wii games once they were copied to a SIM card, less than using it to see inside a file though. Maybe cracked isn't the correct word I'm not English lol.
Always remove the French language pack
never execute "sudo rm -r / --no-perserve-root" because you whole sytem will be gone edit i forgot the directory
the
-deleteoption infindgoes AFTER the expression.find -delete [whatever]will delete EVERYTHING in the current directory and below, likerm -rf *Huh. I wonder if GNU find should be modified, so that
-deleteonly works when explicitly given a directory.This shouldnt do anything since you didn't gave it a directory to start with.
oh yeah i forgot a /
