Linux

Joining split files in linux via command line.

How does one join split files with extensions like ".001 .002 .003 .004…" back together into one file again?

Split files like these are likely made by Windows users using the QuickPar program, and as such linux users can rejoin them into the original file using command line options of the pararchive package. Using the following command par will see the split files as additional blocks and it will check, repair and concatenate (aka joining) the files into the single original file or files.

par2 r myfile.par2 myfile.*

An interesting point of view

Saw an interesting article by Brian Proffitt, a Managing Editor at Linux Today. In his article titled. Maybe We Should Charge For Linux, he raises the issue of price and quality in the minds of many consumers.
