This is a guide to running Linux with the Dell XPS M1710 notebook. The XPS M1710 is a very high end notebook with a big screen and fast components. It is also very heavy. Linux support is top notch.
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch' and such.

Hier geht’s um dich. Denn du bist etwas Besonderes. Weil du auf regelmäßiges Bio-Backup verzichtest und Firewall statt Feierabend machst. Weil du NDS, ADS, NIS und LDAP nicht für politische Parteien hältst. Weil du bei "Tier" nicht an die afrikanische Tiefebene denkst. Du sorgst für Benutzerrecht und Datenordnung. Du spürst Idle-Faulenzer auf. Du bist der King of Anti-Hot-Locking. Du bist der Held des Systems.
