Oh no, not again. Sights.

Lovely Roxette Wise tagged me with yet-another-blog-meme, this time about books. Okay since I’m a good sport, let’s do this:

The Book Meme

1. Pick up the nearest book. (of at least 123 pages)
2. Open book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences
5. Tag five people!

(Goes and fetch the closest book…) Oh fuck. Which is a very old edition of Linux Unleashed. From 1995. Ugh. You really asked for it, this promises to be very dull. It came with Slackware 2.2.0 BTW. Yes, I’m that old.

So on page 123…

Notational Conventions Used to Describe Linux Commands

There is a set of accepted notational conventions used to describe, in a concise and consistent way, the correct syntax for any given Linux command. This specifies what options or parameters you must use, what options or parameters you can use or not use, and so on. Sometimes this set of conventions is used to give a complete and exhaustive listing of a command’s syntax, showing every possible command and parameter.

There, that’s even 4 sentences if we count the title.

Now the victims. Ugh. Sorry guys. I’m not tagging anyone this time, this brings too much hate. *grins*
