Thread: Arch Forums Registration

hi. i've been long-time ubuntu user, , wanted give arch try i've heard things. kind of humorous, can't finish forums registration on there because of anti-spam protection have setup. i'm still linux noob (one of reasons why wanted try hand @ difficult use distro), don't understand it's asking.

question follows:

output of "date -u +%w$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\w//g'"?

mean? when type terminal, long line of letters , numbers doesn't work answer.

sorry ultra-noobish question!

date -u = print date , time utc

+%w = print week number of year

$(uname) = substitueted output of uname command

uname = prints system information, wihtout options prints kernel name linux (not sure what's output on osx or solaris or bsd)

sha256sum computes checksum of test returned date ...

sed deletes garbage end of checksum.

output get:
215c772cdf8deea7be70200ac9bf92d938473697425b4d3d69 14aa0428f5ba7e

if using ubuntu & system date , time correct, should same.
