Show HN: My two Linux tips – terminal titles + local wiki

Just to give a little motivation, the first is changing your titles on a terminal when you use man, less or vi...so instead of having 5 terminals open all with the same cryptic title of &quot;someuser@somehost - Terminal&quot; you can actually tell which man page is which (pretty good, I think)<p>The second is how to install a local wiki on your box. It&#x27;s a great way to access local docs, keep notes for projects, etc. My example uses MediaWiki but Docuwiki also works. Check the pictures I posted and you can see a good example of its use.<p>Anyway, hope someone finds this helpful ;-)
