SED and AWK missing in Windows

There are a lot of command prompt tools missing in Windows comparing to Linux, specially AWK and SED, I hope they were native instead of installing tools like cygwin. I really miss SED and AWK in windows. AWK tutorial - http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html SED tutorial - http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

dd-wrt mini vs standard

One of the good reasons to have your appliance running Linux is to hack it, one of good examples is the WRT54G from Linksys. You can download a good firmware like DD-WRT and do whatever you want even cook eggs (see overclocking heating in the dd-wrt wiki). The thing that attract me in the dd-wrt is the combination of a good web interface and a prompt. The Mini vs Standard firmwares, mind you that you have to install the mini first and then upgrade to std, here is the link: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_is_%22DD-WRT%22%3F#File_Versions

Suse is bad

We decided to try Suse because one of the Senior Directors use to work with Novell in 1932. But it is a bad Linux flavor, one example of a thousands: Man page, if you use the man page it give you a error even for built in commands like "man cp", it should come out of box without you have to do anything

iconv: conversion from utf8 unsupportediconv: try 'iconv -l' to get the list of supported encodings

See how to solve it here http://forum.nedlinux.nl/viewtopic.php?id=26602 Packages, there is not a lot of RPM available in the open source community for Suse, let's pick a famous one "GD" or "Imagemagick", there is no RPM for them, I know linux fans that we like to compile software, give me a break, or you can hack and use opensuse with rug. My personal choice are (not in this order):

• Fedora
• RedHat
• Ubuntu
• Knoppix

Samba

Every time I have to do something in Samba, I have to search the internet for hours, always have problem with Samba, most of it, I don't use Samba everyday and it goes to my /tmp folder in my brain RAM, overtime it get deleted, to not forget ..... list the servers you have in your network

smbclient -L servername --user='domain\username'

to mount a server, it will ask your password afterwards

mount -t smbfs -o username='domain\username' //server/folder mount
