Debian Alternatives
Table of Contents
Debian's alternatives system provides executable names for common
application classes. Some of these I prefer set differently. It's quick
to check which alternatives have been set manually with
update-alternatives --get-selections|grep manual.
Here's a list of the main alternatives that I usually want set. Pipe it
into update-alternatives –-set-selections to set them all in one go.
update-alternatives --get-selections|grep manual
