Re: Your favorite Linux command/program

top - I wish that had that on AIX, it's such a pain to figure out the memory/cpu stats for all of my applications, I have to have the admin give me the info as it is now because I don't have access to the AIX tools that do it

The LCS problem, and the solution implemented in diff, are elegant, thought provoking, and imperfect.

Re: diff

I have yet to see a perfect diff tool. The one that ships with eclipse is pretty nice though

Re: Your favorite Linux command/program

actually this is an excellent one, so dont make the same mistake i did, of bothering to write your own prime factoring algorithm, it may be fast, but its not smart, referring to factor, its great, fast and excellent, whoever thought of putting it in, should told me, cuz i had to actually write not only a an extremely fast solution with bitmaps and a vector, but a recursive one too, so that first one could have ended in like 2 lines of code...
