Switch to ISO-8859-1 charmap on debian/ubuntu

Finally,

This page shows how to go from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 but the reverse order works as well. I still am trying to find out what it is that sets the default (startup) charmap i ubuntu. Keep checking and an update may be posted.

bash history

fc (fix command) is a useful builtin command history utility that can do a lot more than it first seems to.

list history $ fc -l [first [last]]
example:
list all $ fc -l 1
