Some handy Linux administration tips:

1. xemacs error: "Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion"

Set your .envrc or enter this code at the $ prompt -
        $setenv LANG en_US.iso88591

2. Find command to locate/find files in linux

Use following syntax:
        $ find /<directory-location> -user <username> -name <file-name>
Where,
* directory-location : Try to find files in this directory path
* -user { group-name } : Find file belongs to username.
* -name {file-name} : Actual name of file to search

e.g.
        $ find /home -user ashish -name myfile.txt

3. To synchronize system date/time

You need a program called ntpdate installed on your linux system. If installed by default, you may find it under /usr/sbin/. For eg. on a ubuntu machine, give the following command:
        $ ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
