Two observations FYI. Firstly, recent copies of GNU find (at least
Etch onwards) support -exec {} +, e.g.
find -type f -exec md5sum {} +
instead of
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum
Secondly, if you place the pipe operator at the end of a line instead
of the start, you can avoid the icky continuation lines, e.g.
aptitude search ~i -F %p |
fmt
instead of
aptitude search ~i -F %p \
| fmt
Have a nice day.
