Red Hat Summit 2007 collected hundreds of Linux users all in one place–many of them experienced Red Hat Certified Engineers® (RHCE). And somewhere between all those smart people walking around–and our video crew shooting footage–the idea for some video tips was born.

This tip is from Jesse Keating. Look for more in the coming weeks.

    This has happened to be many times before, and it was extremely frustrating.
    Great tip, thanks!

    You can accomplish the same thing with ’tilde -> period’, ie, shift-tilde-period.

    I always get locked sessions when I load a new kernel module. This tip does not seem to resolve that problem. The session locks when I log off a system where I loaded a module. Does anyone know a way to recover from that type of lock?

    Genius! Thanks dude in the video! :D

    Try typing ~? i.e. tilde question mark during an ssh session. This will print out the supported escape sequences for an ssh session.
