Monitoring MySQL queries

Monitor All SQL Queries in MySQL is a very nice (though short) posting about how to debug and monitor what’s going on inside your DBMS. There’s supposed to exist a similar tool for MSSQL called “Profiler”.

list obsolete and/or locally installed packages in debian/ubuntu

aptitude has a specific list-category to display those when using the curses-GUI, but I do not like it. fortunately, you can use the search-command from the cli-interface with the appropriate search-pattern:

aptitude search "?obsolete"

or as a shorthand:

aptitude search "~o"

See the aptitude Reference Guide for more information.
