Create a file called /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Enlightenment In that file, put the following line: exec /usr/bin/enlightenment That path might not be the same. To find out where your Enlightenment binary is, run 'which enlightenment'. It will probably be /usr/bin/enlightenment, though. That's

I wrote a little script that will tell you how much each directory is taking up, but that doesn't dump all the info about sub directories. It goes like this: for i in `ls -d` do du -sh $i done; Just put that in a file, chmod 755 it, and run it. It gives a nice summary of all the

Monitoring un-used packages

I've got this idea for a nifty daemon software. I'm constantly wondering, "do I ever use package X?", and I'd like to write a daemon that monitors all the files that get used on my system, and which RPM's (or DEB's) they belong to. That way, I could send the user alerts that they have a
