Episode 67: Linux Mint 11, The Mintiest!

Tip of the Week

  • Run a second command only if first command succeeds. You can string two commands together using ‘&&’, and the second command will run only if the first command completes successfully.  For example, I like to run “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade”.  If the update fails, the entire command exits and the upgrade does not run.  This way, I can go fix the reason for the update failing, prior to running the upgrade.
