I consider myself an Ubuntu end-user representing the interests of the academic and scientific communities. I'm a strong believer in the need to be informed about free and open source alternatives to proprietary software, but at the same time take a stance against the reckless, anti-corporation evangelism I've too often seen pressure inexperienced users into having bad first experiences with Linux.
While I can't contribute back to the open source community with software development, I do what I can to share what I've learned and support others who have decided to use Ubuntu.

Where should a non-administrative user save a CA certificate? I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to change the meaning of the question after you answered it. The question as you see it now is the same as my interpretation of its earlier wording. I understand now that specifying "a single user" and "within my home folder" doesn't necessarily imply "non-administrative" for many readers in this community. |

Where should a non-administrative user save a CA certificate? The question originally asked about storing a certificate in the home folder. A helpful answer doesn't necessarily have to suggest a location within the home folder (maybe there isn't an appropriate one), but if it doesn't, it should still address the issue and explain why another location is preferable. The original question also asked about a certificate that's used by a single user. This answer ignores that limited scope and instead suggests installing the certificate for all users. I also expect an explanation of the rational behind that decision. |

Change TimeStamp display in terminal Be careful about overriding the existing ls alias defined in the default .bashrc. If you just append this new declaration you'll lose the prior's text coloring. |
