/usr/share/dict/words

Note to self: /usr/share/dict/words in Gentoo is provided by package sys-apps/miscfiles. I kind of wish that file came along with a default install.

The GWN was back this week, second week in a row. It's nice to have it back. I enjoy reading it. A lot of people whined when it wasn't around, but now that it's back I haven't heard anyone say "Good job". Though maybe everyone did and I missed it.

    Thanks for the tip, this entry was just what I was looking for! And it is first on Google for the query… so it's not exactly just a note to self, but helps others as well. :-)
