Installing Citrix client onto Ubuntu 64-bit

by on Jan.12, 2009, under *nix

Recently at work, I was told to install the citrix client. This was fine since citrix has a linux install, which did not work or spit out any error message. After 68 tabs (not exaggerating) worth of googling, I found the reason for this was that citrix hates freedom only works on 32bit linux and that there is no 64bit version out yet. YAY! after a couple thousand (exaggerating) more tabs, I was able to track down the correct way to install citrix onto ubuntu 64-bit.

stupid *nix tricks

[Edit: Seems like the -u flag is on debian systems such as Ubuntu. Did a man on a FreeBSD system and saw it didn't have the flag available.]
I use the cp and mv a lot that the -r and -f flags almost always accompany them. I also now realize I've used them for so long with so little thought that I forgot that there were other flags. My newest infatuation is the -u flag.

Basically -u lets you do a merge, which came in handy when I had to manually update wordpress for the first time. I could tell you more or you could RTFM
