How to know the code name of each Ubuntu version?

According to http://blog.websitestyle.com/index.php/2007/01/18/how-to-find-out-your-ubuntu-version-name/

1) Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
2) Type the following at the prompt:
cat /etc/lsb-release
3) It should output something similar to mine, which looks like this:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=edgy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 6.10"

My result would be
eric@eric-asus-nb:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS"
eric@eric-asus-nb:~$

cpio usage

Oracle usually will use the cpio format as the installation binary.

But I used to use cpio -idvm < *.cpio to extract the file .

But encountered the error

cpio: 0511-903 Out of phase!
cpio attempting to continue...

cpio: 0511-904 skipping 732944 bytes to get back in phase!
One or more files lost and the previous file is possibly corrupt!

This made me hate the cpio format.

Today I finally found the correct usage

cpio -idcmv < *.cpio

 

Remove file according to date

I always forgot the syntax.

So I decide to write it down in my Blog.

 

find . -name '<pattern>' -exec rm -f {} \;

 

find . -atime +<n day> -exec rm -f {} \;

 

 

敗犬的由來

「美麗又能幹的女人，只要過了適婚年齡還是單身，就是一隻敗犬；平庸又無能的女人，只要結婚生子，就是一隻勝犬。」─酒井順子

 「敗犬」二字頻頻出現。這當然是日本女作家酒井順子寫於2003年底的暢銷書－「敗犬的遠吠」

 

感謝Vincent的分享 ;)
