I would hazard a guess that 95% of Linux users know what their /tmp directory is for. For those that don’t, your chosen Linux distribution probably already uses tmpwatch in order to achieve the following.
As an avid Slackware user, I needed a quick way of checking the contents of my /tmp and /var/tmp and pruning [...]

After a few months of beta testing, Adobe Reader 7.0 for Linux is finally available for download.
AdbeRdr70_linux_enu.tar.gz (39165K)
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-1.i386.rpm (38933K)
In my opinion, it is the first stable not-so-bloated release since version 4. It also works flawlessly within Firefox 1.0, and any other gecko-based browser. I have also tested it in Opera and Konqueror and I can [...]

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1-heno-custom.run (4751.7K) - The latest nVidia drivers now work

Version 2.6.11 of the Linux kernel has been released. The 2.6.10 kernel has only been the third from the 2.6.x branch that has seen more than semi-permanant use on any of my systems. 2.6.5 and 2.6.2 are the only other releases that I have had reasonable success with; 2.6.6 - 2.6.9 caused me nothing but [...]

Every once in a while I surprise myself with the discovery of something so simple it makes you think “Why didn’t I know this already? And why haven’t I been told?”
