The Windows dos box (command prompt) sucks in many ways in comparison to an xterm (and I'm not even including 'command' vs 'bash' here). But if you have emacs you can make it suck a little bit less. "M-x shell" gets you shell mode, and you can select text etc, and use emacs keybindings for editing your commands etc.

Finally got round to getting Win4Lin working, with a few hassles...

A warning for anyone switching to a 64-bit architecture (such as AMD64) from a 32-bit: Subversion repositories have to be migrated...

I found there is no way to get Win4Lin running on my 64-bit kernel, so I'm looking at the alternatives...

I've started a small repository for AMD64 builds of Debian and Ubuntu packages.

I thought it might be useful to add a bit more about how it's going with Ubuntu...

Having messed up my Mandrake installation (kind of), I decided to have a fling with Ubuntu...

I finally found some good info on how the firewall works in Mandrake..

I would like to congratulate Virgin Radio on their very Linux friendly web site...

Since I now have two computers, it's time to start messing around iwth networking them...

I got a new computer, and switched Linux distribution too...
