For example you might run this command:
while :; do nc -l -p 5558 -c "logtail /var/log/syslog"; done
This would have nc exit when it's done dumping /var/log/syslog and the
next time someone connects it should pick up where it left off.

The quickest way to build a library of all the Fortran
codes available in LAPACK appeared to be just by
apt-get-ing lapack and blas/atlas. I was kinda
expecting this in install Fortran libraries with names
like liblapack.a that I could just link to at compile
time, but I don't, only lapack.so and l
;s quicker than
reinstalling and then purging the packages?

this doesn't provide me with the chance to run fdisk, or anything else.
