Installing gcc 4.8 and Linuxbrew on CentOS 6

The GCC distributed with CentOS 6 is 4.4.7, which is pretty outdated. I'd like to use gcc 4.8+. Also, when trying to install Linuxbrew you run into a dependency loop where Homebrew's gcc depends on zlib, which depends on gcc. Here's how I solved the problem.

Note: Requires sudo privileges.

Hi there!

The docker cheat sheet has moved to a Github project under https://github.com/wsargent/docker-cheat-sheet.

Please click on the link above to go to the cheat sheet.

Work in progress, I'll write this up properly when I'm done.

Almost all credit goes to @maxogden for putting me on to this and pointing me in the right direction for each of these items.

Prerequisites:

Raspberry Pi
Kindle Paperwhite freed from its locked down state (jailbroken) http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198446
- You have to downgrade your Kindle to 5.3.1 to install the current jailbreak; that's just a matter of getting the old version image, putting it on your Kindle via USB and telling it to install "upgrade". Then you put in the Jailbreak files, load the ebook and break.
Your kindle will be quick to detect an upgrade is available so it'll want to upgrade soon afterwards but the jailbreak will last but you have to reinstall the developer certificates so it's a bit of a pain but doable. Find all the instructions on the mobileread.com forums and wiki.

Asynchronicity is the price to pay, you better know what you're paying for...

Let's share some vocabulary first:

Thread: The primitive responsible of executing code on the processor, you can give an existing (or a new) Thread some code, and it will execute it. Normally you can have a few hundreds on a JVM, arguments that you can tweak your way out to thousands. Worth noting that multitasking is achieved when using multiple Threads. Multiple Threads can exist for a single processor in which case multitasking happens when this processor switches between threads, called context switching, which will give the impression of things happenning in parallel. An example of a direct, and probably naive, use of a new Thread in Java:

public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
  public void run(){
 System.out.println("MyRunnable running");
