Yak shaving
-Submitted by: Rory
-Spending time on trivial activities that are not on your critical path to graduation.
-Example stolen from googling for the work yak shaving: You need to get some notes of someone but you can't find them you know for sure that they will be in the stables that night so you go to the stables. You see, in this case going to the stables isn't socializing or slacking off, it's part of your work -- hanging out there, you'll be connected to your project via the process of yak shaving!

root
-Submitted by: Cathal Ferris
-Account with ultimate power on the machine
-To: John Madden
- From: Mel Gorman
- Subject: When you got root
- Today is your lucky day. You too will have the glory of changing your status from lowly peon to glorious master. Yes, people will now fear and respect you for no other reason than you can make their life miserable for your own amusment.
This privilege comes at the low low price of been reminded by dollar about the day you joined the computer society on a regular basis.
-Until further notice you must practice cackling and going MUWUHAHAHA. At least twice a day you must practice glaring. For extra credit, strike fear into the hearts of users by wondering out loud on ltin or skychat what would be amusing to do next with root. Past suggestions have been using the magic eight ball when deciding whether to use tar or rm to do backups. Others have been a quick game of "Guess Who's Inbox" . In time you will figure it out.
-Mel Gorman, President UL Computer Society

The 'man' command
-
-The command 'man' is Linux's built-in help system. If you don't know exactly
-how to use a command, or what it does, type 'man command' and you will see
-a summary of what the command does and how to use it.
-
-Also, if the command you are looking up isn't explained when you try
-'man command' it could be in another chapter of the man pages. Try using
-man 2 command, man 3 command etc. There are 8 chapters in all.
-
-Usage:
-'man command' or 'man x command'
