*[http://blog.i64.pl/PiosBlog/200610/29-linux-keyboard-shortcuts-you-should-know-about/ Keyboard shortcuts] are very handy.  If you don't use your keyboard more than your mouse, then does that make you a mouseketeer?

*I finally decided it was time to learn [[how to (re)build a Linux Kernel]].  I wanted to [http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Hotplug use a USB flash memory device], and unfortunately, Debian Sarge is not well-equipped to do so like more desktop-oriented distributions like Mandrake or Suse.  Upgrading my Debian Sarge distribution to use the 2.6 Linux kernel, plus the udev system will hopefully solve this for me.

=== Linked Images ===
+
* [[Help:Sysops and permissions|Sysops and permissions]]
By default, this system is configured to show an image and link to it's description page.  Sometimes, you want to use an image to link to a page of your choice.  There are [[mw:Help:Linked_images| many ways to make mediawiki link images]], but the most convenient that we settled on here is to use the [[mw:Extension:Icon|Icon extension]]
 
  
Also, <nowiki>[[Media:foo.pdf]]</nowiki> would produce a link to a pdf document, so <nowiki>[[Media:Ejbdesignpatterns.pdf]]</nowiki> produces a link to http://freephile.com/wiki/images/6/6d/Ejbdesignpatterns.pdf

The following features require extra permissions that are not normally granted to all wiki users.
