This is how you can easily disable display power management on Linux.
Useful if you wish to watch videos while videoplayer doesn’t support automatic dpms disabling.
Files nodpms.sh/yesdpms.sh for disabling/enabling dpms are also available on scripts.
Create a file nodpms.sh with following content
#! /bin/sh
xset s noblank -dpms
To disable display power management just run: sh ./nodpms.sh
xset is a user preference utility for X.
The “s” option lets you set the screen saver parameters.
“noblank” sets the preference to display a pattern rather than blank the video.
“-dpms” disables Energy Star mode.

“It would take About 66 quadrillion years for a desktop PC to crack your password.”
But how many years would it take me to understand not to give my password to some shady site? I bet seven and a half.
How secure is my password?

openSUSE 11.2:
As root, open file /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp
and find a line (i had it on line 92) where it says
DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME="yes"
Change this line to
DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME="no"
Then the hostname defined in /etc/HOSTNAME will be used.
