• How to split a large archive file into multiple small files using Split command in Linux

  Author: Ansh • Tags: arch linux, centos, debian, linux, opensuse, shell, ubuntu • Comments: 2

  Although one of the primary reasons behind creating archives is the ease of handling and transfer, sometimes the compressed file itself is so large that it becomes a nightmare to transfer it over network, especially when the network speed is slow. So, what should be done in cases like these? Is there a solution to this problem? Well, yes - one solution is to split the compressed file into smaller bits, that can easily be transferred over network. At destination, you can join them back to get the original archive.

• How to share files locally on Linux by using NitroShare

  Author: Bill Toulas • Tags: arch linux, linux, ubuntu • Comments: 2

  NitroShare is a cross-platform file transfer application that can help Linux users move files from one device to another as long as it is installed in all of them. While there are many ways to do this, and some are more secure than NitroShare, this one is one of the simplest and easiest to use for everyday common file sharing tasks. In the following quick guide, I will showcase how to transfer a sample file from an Ubuntu system onto an Arch system.

• Skype Workarounds on Linux

  Author: Bill Toulas • Tags: arch linux, centos, debian, desktop, linux, suse, ubuntu • Comments: 5

  Skype on Linux is a much debated topic that unfortunately remains largely unchanged. Skype is something that most people just have to use, but the client’s official support for Linux is pathetic to say the least.

• How to install and run Android Apps (APKs) on Linux with Shashlik

  Author: Bill Toulas • Tags: arch linux, debian, desktop, linux, ubuntu • Comments: 34

  Shashlik is basically a set of software components that allow Linux users to install and run Android APKs right on their GNU/Linux distribution. Shashlik achieves that by using a stripped down version of Android instead of emulating one, which is nested inside the user session upon the launching of an installed Android application.

• How to generate a animated GIF or movie out of images on Linux

  Author: Bill Toulas • Tags: arch linux, centos, debian, desktop, linux, suse, ubuntu • Comments: 0

  It is very unlikely for anyone nowadays not to own a device that is capable of shooting many consecutive pictures (burst mode). While this is useful for helping you take the perfect shot in sport events etc, you may want to use some of those successive frames to create a movie. Thankfully, you can do this very easily on Linux. In this tutorial, I will use five (not so closely successive) shots of my Cockatiel parrot bird trying to drink some of my coffee.

• How to compare and merge text files on Linux (part 2)

  Author: Bill Toulas • Tags: arch linux, centos, debian, desktop, fedora, linux, mandriva, suse, ubuntu • Comments: 2

  This post is a response to the overwhelming comments about Meld (and other tools) on my previous article on text files comparison and merging tools. While my intention wasn't to focus on code text only but to also present something useful to word editors and writers as well, but the coders community objected for the “shallowness” of the previous post so here we go with part 2.
