commands #2 feat. Windows

Let me continue the series

1]  scare your friends
this displays weird symbols, and no command line. clear won't work either
cat /dev/random
yes, ^C will quit the program but play with your friends with some innovative ideas
like, display the contents of /dev/random in 5 terminals at once. macabre feelings !!

2] save your packages
knew about this from rikil shah. save all your codecs and packages as an .iso file
APTonCD
try installing it
sudo apt-get install aptoncd
really helpful if you have to reinstall your whole linux again. you dont have to install your necessities all over again

3] backup your whole system
this is somewhat i have virtually tried. i tried remastersys, it took my 4 hours, but finally it said the file is too large. though i provided me some personal benefits, i would rather recommend  sbackup
click here, if you want to try remastersys
else try sbackup

4] windows

I think you can make iso of ny file or of disc simply through the command mode as
# dd if=(sourcefile location) of= (destination /name.iso) bs=1000000 count=1024 &&sync

say if u want to back up the file in disc in desktop with name Ubuntu.iso having space 900 Mb then
eg. # dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/Desktop/Ubuntu.iso bs=1000000 count= 1024 &&sync

The command - ":(){:|:&};:" This command executes processes until your system freezes.
