Gather linux system information with inxi

I've discovered this great command-line to gather system information:

inxi -F

And here is the output:

Installing PostgreSQL 9.3 on CentOS 6.5

PostgreSQL Installation

Basically, to install the latest version of PostgreSQL (9.3 as I write), you can follow the instructions in the PostgreSQL Wiki.

Post-installation commands

Initialize

Here is a difference from the wiki: I customize the call to the PostgreSQL script initdb (adapt the paths if needed):

Mount a Nexus 4 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Install the package mtpfs:

sudo apt-get install mtpfs

Create a directory somewhere (eg: "android"):

mkdir android

Mount :

sudo mtpfs -o allow_other android

Unmount :

sudo umount android
