Ubuntu - Debian Package Management

rpm - dpkg equivalents

rpm -qa becomes dpkg -l

rpm -qal becomes for i in `dpkg-query -W|awk '{print $1}'`; do dpkg -L $i; done

SSH delays

Sometimes when I login I get very long delay,
cause is the destination server's config, two possible configs:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config in Centos, /etc/sshd_config under OSX:

UseDNS no
- and/or -
GSSAPIAuthentication no

LCD Monitor DPI at Native Resolution

Relative pixel density for a given resolution
calculated this way:
DPI = sqrt( Wpx^2+Hpx^2 )

1680x1050@20" --> 99dpi
1600x1200@21" --> 95dpi
1680x1050@22" --> 90dpi
1920x1200@24" --> 94dpi

using google as my calculator (e.x. for 1920x1200#24")

sulbalcon.net DNS override @rd

To override dns for sulbalcon.net, which does not do port forwarding when coming from the inside, simply added a line to /etc/hosts on openwrt@rd

The point was to browse to sulbalcon.net from inside rd.sologlobe.com network
Of course the browsing host has to use openwrt as its dns...

/etc/hosts.old -> /rom/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost OpenWrt
192.168.3.200 sulbalcon.net www.sulbalcon.net sulbalcon

dig before
sulbalcon.net. 244 IN CNAME rd-sologlobe.dnsalias.net.
rd-sologlobe.dnsalias.net. 60 IN A 74.56.226.92
dig after
sulbalcon.net. 0 IN A 192.168.3.200
