Thing that is rarely used but very useful when needed. How do drop cache's in Linux:

free pagecache

echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

free dentries and inodes

echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

How to unpack rpm

I rarely use this one but it's handy sometimes:

rpm2cpio rpmname.rpm | cpio -idv

(taken from this blog)

edit:

sometimes it doesn't work because of this:

but it seems that cpio is broken and it can be fixed with:

rpm2cpio rpmnamerpm | lzma -d | cpio -id
