I stand corrected, my apologies.

CentOS 7 went out of support 2 years ago. There are no more updates. Not for BIND, not for anything. You have the right command, but there aren't any more updates for that OS. CentOS 8 went out of support last year. It is recommended to go to CentOS 9 if you want to stay with CentOS...

I use srm ( secure remove ). It's about the same as shred. To delete a file normally... rm mysecret.file To delete with shred... shred mysecret.file To delete with srm... srm mysecret.file I guess one advantage to srm... two less letters to type vs shred. :)

Files are a lot more difficult than entire file systems. Even shred isn't 100% safe. If I wipe out an entire filesystem, everything is gone. Oh sure, I need to do multiple reads and writes 1's and 0's, etc... all that helps. But if I erase a file, sure I can remove it off the disk, at least...

You could also do something like this. This page has 2 examples (right way, wrong way) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43145328/read-n-lines-from-file-and-assign-each-line-to-distinct-variable

myvar=$( output of some command ) #!/bin/bash myvar=$(ps -ef | grep tty | awk {'print $1'}) echo $myvar Not sure why you need the variables to be numbered, but that's possible too. Take a look at enum. Or you you could increment the variable name...

To get started, for the most part you will need this... sudo apt install build-essential But depending on what you are compiling, and what programming language you are using, you may need more.

Rocky and Alma are similar, but unrelated to each other. CentOS is still around, but they have moved to an "upstream" format. They are still pretty much Redhat, but have newer/less tested binaries. They aren't a 100% compatible with the current version of Redhat. Depending on what what you...

As far as I was aware, it doesn't run on any Linux distro. There is something called android-x86. https://www.android-x86.org/ It doesn't run everything, but it does run some things.

Wine helps for some things. But it doesn't make Linux do everything Windows does. If Notepad++ is the main application you use, and no other editor works for you, then maybe Linux isn't the OS you should use.

There is a limit to file sizes under Linux on FAT32. You might try formatting it with exfat.

What filesystem is your USB drive formatted in?

Try it with the same search word twice on the same line. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. It was very lazy today. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. It was very lazy today.

sed is "stream editor". The thing I use it for most often, is search and replace. sed -i "s/fred/barney/g" > flintstones.txt i = in place. Dont make a new file. Just do this to the existing file. s = search or match / this is the delimiter. But sed use can use other characters as...
