The easiest way to locate all files installed from RPM package on your system is to check a RPM package manifest which shows all files and location for any particular RPM package. Let’s say that I downloaded a telnet-server-1.2-137.1.i586.rpm RPM package from some online source and I wish to see what this package contains and what files will be installed into the system. The following linux command will reveal all that information:
# rpm -qlp telnet-server-1.2-137.1.i586.rpm

However, mastering this fairly simple command line tool will give you a great advantage when it comes to the efficiency of your work on a user as well administration level. To simply put, cut command is one of many text-filtering command line tools that Linux Operation System has to offer. It filters standard STDIN from another command or input file and sends the filtered output to STDOUT.

In this guide, we’ll show you a few different methods for fixing the Firefox is already running but is not responding error message on a Linux system.
First, let’s go over a few reasons for why this error may be occurring. It’s not uncommon to have an application freeze or “hang” every once in a while, so if this isn’t an issue that you repeatedly have with Firefox, you can probably simply kill the process and get back to what you were doing.
On the other hand, the problem has been known to become perpetual in situations where there’s an issue with the profile file. Firefox stores a user’s personalizations and settings inside a “profile” that is accessed every time Firefox opens. If you’re experiencing this error often, it can be helpful to create a brand new profile and import your old settings.
Follow along with our step by step guide below in order to fix this annoying error and get your web browser running smoothly again.

Choosing a Linux distribution can be one of the most difficult things for a Linux user. There are so many excellent options, and they all have their own unique strong suits.
There are also constant updates, news, and general community chatter that muddy the waters even more, making the process much less of a direct route. However, there are a couple of questions that you can ask yourself in choosing a distribution that help clear things up. It’s also important to remember that there usually isn’t a wrong answer. Every distribution is good. Sure, running Arch on your enterprise scale production deployment probably isn’t the best idea, but it’s still technically possible. It’s all about picking a distribution that fits around that sweet spot of what you want and need.
Every year, the question pops up; which Linux distribution is best? The reason that question persists the way it does is because there is no singular concrete answer. Most distributions are purpose built for certain situations, and even when they aren’t, there are bound to be conditions that they’re better and worse in.
This list attempts to pin down the best distributions for common use cases and situations. These are by no means the only options, but they are arguably the best as of now. Things in the Linux world always change, so keep an eye out for new developments.
Everyone needs to start somewhere, and Linux is no different. Even though it became a meme, telling newcomers to install Gentoo isn’t very productive, and it harms the community as a whole.
There are distributions that work to make themselves accessible to people of every skill level and technical aptitude. They’re often called “Beginner distributions”, but they aren’t just for beginners. Actually, any one of these choices would be great for everyone, but they’re also the best places for newbies to start.
