Hi everyone,

I'm new to the N900 and anything "Linux".

I read in the battery analysis forum of someone who checked their battery charge % through X Terminal. Although there maybe an app for that, I want to know how I can take advantage of X Terminal for other quick instant-gratification fun

There's things like df -h to see what % 'disk' space you have left, for example. Here's a link to a pretty comprehensive list of busybox commands. (Be careful! Some may bite!) Here's another to some basic commands.

LOL...would that even work? Even after you did sudo gainroot i dont think it can delete everything because many files would be in use

it does.. it doesn't remove everything but it does remove critical files. Eventually at a random point (depending when the OS tries to access something that's been removed) you'll kernel panic.. and never get back.

It might not, in fact. Not that I'd like to risk it...

you can make playlists quickly with xterm...

with xterm navigate to a directory containing mp3's, then type:

ls *.mp3 > my_playlist.m3u

)

I tried it once and it did.. this was quite some time ago. Maybe it's changed.. and I'm just the sort of idiot to setup a Vbox to try this too...

In case you have files in a bunch of subdirs, you may want to use the "find" command to generate a playlist. Haven't tested it out but something like this might work...

find . -iname *.mp3 > my_playlist.m3u

BTW, that "rm -rf" post was horrible. You should be ashamed.
