Windows System Explorer
If you’re done with Task Manager then check out SystemExplorer at http://systemexplorer.mistergroup.org. SystemExplorer is a free utility that will help you search through those processes for the ones that are virus laden, leaking memory or just plain not supposed to be there and therefore wasting your valuable system resources. SystemExplorer can show file paths, parent processes, process publishers, action histories and let you search for details against a database. In short, there have been great replacements for Windows’ Task Manager for years but this one might just be one of the better ones we’ve tried.

Command mode cannot be used for entering text. When a file is first opened, you start out in command mode and you will not see the words you are typing on the screen . To enter and edit text you have to switch to insert mode by pressing the…

Getting Started with tar
If we were in the directory Desktop and wanted to backup all the files to a tarball called backups.tar, we could issue this command: tar cvf backups.tar . The flags here:c creates an archive, v makes the process run verbose and f sets the file name. The . tells tar to back up the current working directory. Use pwd if you’re unsure what that is. As we didn’t tell tar where to put the file it will automagically put it in the working directory. By default tar is recursive although you can specify an n flag to alter that default behavior. Now, to display the contents of the tar file we just created,…
