If you do any source code tweaking in nano you will no that colourising (or ‘colorizing’ for our American cousins) the code makes life simpler. For some reason the default Fedora config for nano, since approxiamtely the dawn of time, is to disable automatic code highlighting. Fortunately it is easy to fix this by modifying […]
I remember being 20. Not very well, admittedly. Oh, all right – that whole year is a blur of drink, sleep deprivation, music and vomiting house-mates. Linux is certainly in a more dignified place than I was! Happy 20th. Here’s an infographic walk down /proc/meminfo lane.

Wiithon is an excellent WBFS disk manager for Linux, but it only includes instruction for Debian/Ubuntu (BOO!). I have tested the following method in Fedora 14, and it worked for me 😉 Open up a terminal and enter the following commands: su -c ‘yum install gcc gcc-c++ glibc glibc-devel glibc-headers glibc-devel.i686 ImageMagick pygtk2 glade2 libglade2 […]
