Help Help Help w/ Unix?

Here is the question: Give a command line to display the types of all the files in your ~/unix directory that start with the word chapter, are followed by a digit 1,2,6,8,9 and end with .eps or .prn the solution that i came up with is this: ls chapter[12689]*.eps; ls chapter[12689]*.prn now my question to you is how can i combine that without having to use the semicolen, i know there is a command but i can't think of it. Please help!

Help Help Help w/ Unix?
Just do this





ls chapter[12689]*.eps chapter[12689]*.prn





Or if you want to be fancy





find ~/unix -name 'chapter[12689]*\.eps' -o -name 'chapter[12689]\*.prn' -print





More typing to do the same thing. However, "find" is a powerful command to know. Try "man find" or "info find".

Why dont they combine UNIX CUI with a right click GUI?

so you could theoretically right click on a filename and get a right click menu based on what is the context of the rightclick? for example when using secure shell telnet right clicking on a filename could produce an option to delete file... rename file... rather than having to use the rm command / mv command and the ability to include autocomplete of common commands, i..e, CUI mixed with basic GUI , context menus, tooltips, autocomplete, why not just mix the good points of both? CI=UI is easier on the eyes, faster to load and GUI is easier to understand or use. For example why dont they make vi editor work more like DOS EDIT with Menus (I dont mean Norton Editor NE for commands must be easily accessible via menu and shouldnt be a need to remember commands something like WordStar on Unix replacing vi ONSCREEN FORMAT MENU , PRINT CONTROL MENU etc. etc.)

BECAUSE RIGHT CLICK MENUS AREN'T COOL. You don't want to be uncool do you? do you???

Reply:FreeBSD?
Reply:The BSD family does work well for older hardware. Also consider Slackware linux or DSL (damn small linux). Both would be fine for a Pentium II or slow machine with 64MB of RAM or less.

Red hat Linux and UNIX.. Is there much difference?

I worked on HP UNIX systems for long time, a company asked me to come and have an interview with them, they need a new emplyee to work with Redhat Linux systems.. I never worked with Linux.. is there much difference? Is there any good manuals or guides on the web to read about RedHat?

Red hat Linux and UNIX.. Is there much difference?
There are a few differences and a LOT of similarities. If you want a taste of what it's like there is a Fedora Core 8 LiveCD you can download from the official Fedora site (Fedora is the Testing version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which is presumably what you'd be working on). Once you have it, assuming you are running X-Windows of course, opening a terminal and typing man %26lt;command%26gt; or info %26lt;command%26gt; or going to the Help item on the menu should get you to a pretty good idea of what is unique about it.
Reply:They are of the same "family", I don't think you will have too much trouble with the differences.


Here is a list of some of the common "red hat" commands


It is the same commands in all linux.

Just visit http://redhat.com for real details and just do a quick search on the net for linux commands and operations etc.





The "Red Hat Linux Bible" is a very complete book on the system. Get it at your local book store or Amazon etc.
Reply:I prefer AIX.





More stable and more secure.

Anyone know anything about unix coding?

maybe u can tell me about the requirement in terms of hardware and all........

Anyone know anything about unix coding?
Do you know anything about Windows programming? If so it is pretty much the same on Unix. C/C++, and Java being the most popular languages.





As for hardware. You can get versions of Unix that can run on anything from you PC to super computers. For your PC the best Unix out the is Solaris 10, which you can get for free from www.sun.com. You can also go with Linux, which is extremely close to the pure Unixes. Most of what you learn on Linux would be true of Unix.
