It is just a simple setting I need everytime installing a new unix machine. May be it’s paranoid but in my opinion the file-based history logging should be disabled for security reasons – at least in the root account. You can easily do that by open the .bashrc file in the particular home directory and add the following line(s):
Disables the file-based history logging.
Disables the history logging.
By the way zero in the two statements above means: 0 entries in the history = history is disabled 
Lately I was confronted with the problem making Gallery2 (which I installed here) multilingual. Of course Gallery2 supports nearly “all” languages out of the box. The only additional thing you have to do is installing gettext and the corresponding locales. Apropos locales: I think that’s very well to say but how can you do this the command line way?
Firstly open the following file, find your favored locale and copy the line into the clipboard:
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
Now paste the previously selected locale into the following file:
/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
Finally let the package manager update the new locale settings:
That’s it!
Regarding my former article now I’d like to give you a further example for a helpful MS Build task – namely XSLT.
The following task implementation takes the definitions of a source file, a target file as well as a XSLT file and transforms the file by using these properties. Internally it uses the method XslCompiledTransform.Transform() for the transformation process. As you can see at line 40-43 it’s a only a simple code snippet:
