No problem with X on my nvidia (there was no problem in Open SUSE 10.2/3 either). Not the latest released version of Firefox. I think i...

Little things I learned, other might want to know. Monday, April 2, 2007. Using abbrevation in VIM. Here is a vim tip:. Use abbreviate to something you type very frequently. Now in insert mode as soon as you press space after typing perl, the #! Usr/local/bin/perl will be typed automatically for you. If you don't want it to type, type something like "perls ", and then go back and remove the "s"! Put this in your .exrc file for convenience. Posted by Sadanand Hegde. Links to this post. Yes, it is possible!

Little things I learned, other might want to know. Monday, February 16, 2009. Fantastic, it works! Was released on Saturday 14th Feb (they say). I was looking for it on Saturday but did not get it. On Sunday, I saw it was released. On my Compaq presario 2701T laptop (2001), running kubuntu ( xubuntu), I decided to try Debian 5.0 "lenny". This time around, I tried something different. Installed unetbootin, and did a netinstall of Debian 5.0 "lenny", on a pre-existing partition. Posted by Sadanand Hegde.

Little things I learned, other might want to know. Friday, July 24, 2009. Some Things I Do After Each Installation. Things differ from distro to distro. Some things I like to be my way. I might have repeated some, just because this was not edited all at once. Remove unwanted lines, for example, remove the lines for the same distro, older kernels. Reduce timeout to just enough to enter when alert. 5 Seconds is sufficient when you are alert to press any key. If there is no "quiet" or "splash" add them.

My Linux Blog: How I got timeout to work on Grub 2
http://srhegde.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-i-got-timeout-to-work-on-grub-2.html
Little things I learned, other might want to know. Friday, March 26, 2010. How I got timeout to work on Grub 2. Well, the problem was after I upgraded my grub from grub-x.y to grub-2, the machine was not automatically starting to boot after the timeout (with the countdown at the bottom of the grub menu). This is problably a problem only when the grub is upgraded, because on my other machine where I did a fresh install, the problem is not there. Posted by Sadanand Hegde.
