Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at stackoverflow):
Are available for both..
Languages, toolkits, IDEs, etc.
When you ask, at least for FreeBSD - GNU/Linux.
On the downside, less consumer hardware support compared to GNU/Linux.
More stable.

What GNU/Linux command-line tool would I use for performing a search and replace on a file?
Can the search text, and replacement, be specified in a regex format?

You can keep a backup with something like this:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/foo/bar/g;' *.txt
Or pipeline:
cat file.txt | perl -ne 's/foo/bar/g;' | less... .
Perl was invented for this:
perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g;' *.txt
Any normal s/// pattern in those single quotes .

Hi,
Is there free a portable (Windows, GNU/Linux & MacOSX) library providing a lock-free atomic swap function ?
If not, how would it be implemented for each of these platforms? (x86 with VC++ or g++)
Thanks

If you are looking for a library, have a look at... .
In assembler for x86 you might be able to get a "nearly" atomic xor swap, otherwise I'd go with some solution that uses locking, which will differ on Win32/{Linux,Darwin} .
Depends what you want to swap.

Someone asked at the mailing list of my local LUG if there is any way of learning the last command issued on a GNU/Linux system.
We're talking last command in a system-wide fashion I guess. After reasoning for a while if you limit the set of commands ...

Such a system implies that there should be some process which monitors every users .bash_history .
For a specific user (and shell): history
For a current process: ps
Well a system wide one looks quite complicated .

If all you are looking to do....
A tutorial can be found here.
Of course you have access to all the request/response fields too .
You can manipulate headers at will.
Maybe simply cURL is what you need?
A Python script with urllib2 would seem appropriate .

Git would work for that, it's useful as TimeMachine/System Restore .
That way you can always re-create your distribution in case you messed something up .
Automate everything you do and just version the scripts you use to create your distribution .

I'm trying to setup a firewall for one of GNU/Linux systems. AFAIK, iptables and its ilk cannot make use of FQDNs in their configuration, since they're expected to be operational before the network interface is setup and before access to DNSs are available...

The other option is to change from firewall blocking....
Put the FQDN within your /etc/hosts file.
If your hosts line is
hosts: files dns
Then it will check your /etc/hosts file first before DNS .
In your /etc/nsswitch.conf determine the order of host resolution.
