[GNU/Linux] Graphics, Photo Album in command line?

Do image editing(rotating, resize, etc) in command line :)

Quite useful if used in scripts (e.g to create thumbnails for all your images from your digicam after an enjoyable vacation)

[GNU/Linux] TAR and unTAR through pipe

One of the coolest things you can do with 'pipe' is to 'tar' a directory and pipe it to another host running 'untar'

tar cjf - <somedirectory> | ssh -C <user@host> tar xjf -

tar cjl <somedirectory> | ssh -C <user@host> tar xjpvC <targetDirectory>



Cheers.
