A little Linux hint (however off-topic it might be): On most systems
you have not only command completion but also intelligent argument
completion (that sounded funny didn't it). If you type "apt-get
install bui" and then hit TAB twice, it will list possible ways to
finish "bui". If you type so far that there is only one candidate,
like "build-" here, one press on TAB is enough to fill it out. Very
handy for lazy, efficient or forgetful users.
