Command Not Found
If you type a command on Linux that doesn't exist, normally you get this:-
alan@bishop:~$ mplayer
-bash: mplayer: command not found
With the package command-not-found installed (which is by default installed as of Ubuntu 7.04 [Feisty] [due out in April]) you get something like this:-
alan@tigger:~$ mplayer
The program 'mplayer' can be found in the following packages:
* mplayer-nogui
* mplayer
Try: sudo apt-get install
Make sure you have the 'multiverse' component enabled
-bash: mplayer: command not found
How cool is that!?

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

re: Command not found
But will it tell me where I left my car keys?
Do people (even Ubuntu users) type in commands for app's that aren't installed all that often to make this useful?
Of course, heathen unbeliever!
alan@tigger:~$ carkeys
The object 'carkeys' can be found in the following places:
* under couch cushion
* in ex-wife's wallet
Try: sudo apt-get install tracker
Make sure you have the 'contact lenses' object enabled
-bash: carkeys: command not found
(Resistance is futile. You will be Ubuntilated.)

"Ubuntilated" - and my english lexicon grows by one today!
