Spamming is unethical, not to mention often illegal. However, if you care about
GNU parallel, you might be able to donate some money for web advertising
(Google AdSense/etc.). Will you?

It should be "You should probably read the tutorial first." (with a link). I
can try submitting a patch for it.

It's "parallel" - not "parallela" (it is spelled without the trailing "a").

parallel cannot be made a shell (like bash, zsh, or ksh). If you mean that
it will be part of your shell’s commands’ arsenal, then sure - it’s a welcome
addition.

I do not see a file called /etc/parallel/config anywhere in Mageia Linux’s
parallel-20130722-2.mga4 package. So I presume it’s an Ubuntu addition.

The man page says:
<<<<
--tollef (obsolete - will be retired 20140222)
Make GNU parallel behave more like Tollef's parallel command.
It activates -u, -q, and --arg-sep --. It also causes -l to
change meaning to --load.
Not giving '--' is unsupported.
Do not use --tollef unless you know what you are doing.
To override use --gnu.

I don't know what Tollef’s parallel command is.
