The following is an interview with Bram Moolenar (creator of vim) that I conducted back in 1999. I’ve been a fan of vim since I started using Linux and still am. After the interview, I was able to talk my employer at the time into flying Bram into NY for Linuxworld 2000 as our guest. Good times.

I’ve been itching to do this for quite some time – we’ve had Verizon FIOS for maybe 2 years but haven’t had time/energy to look into setting up the router they gave us to forward ports so that I could access my home network from anywhere. This is a quick howto explaining how to do just that.
If you’re a Linux user and not real sure about how it’s going to go when you plug your Droid into your Linux box, here are some steps to take. It’s going to go smoothly, you’ll see… soon you’ll be able to sync your Droid in Linux, copy mp3s to your Droid in Linux, etc…
So Chrome OS was debuted by Google on Thursday (11/19/09).. shortly after that there were source code downloads popping up on the Internet… released by Google so that people could play with it a bit.
I downloaded the VMWare/Virtualbox archive last night and gave it a shot. Once you start the virtual machine it almost immediately asks you for a login and password to continue. This is of course your Google account user/pass. Once I entered it, it was almost just like running a chrome browser – but with a tab on the left with links to items like google docs, webmail (gmail/hotmail/etc..), a calculator and other goodies.

By using the FirewireGuid line in the iPod’s SysInfo file (see the 160gb ipod article) the just-released 4th gen nano (MB735LL/A – pink 4th gen nano) syncs fine with Linux.
I used Amarok with my existing files.. was able to mount the ipod (Fedora 9 saw and mounted ipod when I plugged in), and Amarok picked it right up. I transfered an album over to it and umounted it.. and am now listening to it from the ipod 
Good times.
Most people when loading up their later iPods (gen 6) will notice that while you have it plugged in it appears that everything is going great – Linux recognized your ipod, your songs are transfering, and you’re thinking of which songs you’re going to put into a new playlist…
But then you umount it and your iPod states it has 0 songs.
You don’t believe it though and you scroll around to see where all your songs went – maybe in videos? No, they’re on there, but the iPod won’t tell you about them until you do one magical thing… tell Linux what your firewire guid is…
Ok, it’s not out yet, but you can bet i’ll write up a review the same day it’s available to Linux! The Linux version of Chrome is a much anticipated (and appreciated) application. I currently don’t have a Windows box that I can try the ‘other’ version out on so i’ll sit and wait.. and wait.. until the Linux Chrome comes out.
And so will YOU.
There’s a lot of money going out the window in today’s business model. Everything costs money, and because of the fuel prices, other items are going up in cost as well; ie: Uniforms, deliveries, heating/cooling, etc…
One sure way to save money in your business is to replace your Windows servers with Linux. A good choice for a Linux distribution would be CentOS. It is a free clone of the popular Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system.
