    This is my personal explanation of Why I am not a Apple Mac fan... My Reasons: - I don't like Intel either, I do not support companies who got illegally obtained monopolies - I like clones - Apple is not 100% Open Source, they use and abuse Open Source for their own benefit. - Apple charges money fro their software - Apple does not make Linux versions of their software - Microsoft owns $150 million of Apple

    "Death of the command line revisited Five years ago I wrote a little blurb called Death of the command line. As it happened, that article was misunderstood by many who read it - I don't know if it was my fault or theirs, but somehow many readers ended up thinking I was either predicting the demise of CLI's (Command Line Interfaces) or hoping for that demise or both. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. I remain a big fan of CLI's and use them daily. And yet, just five years later and still at risk of angering yet another batch of folk who won't read carefully, I'm going to suggest that predicting the death of the CLI may not be such a bad bet after all. What triggered this was that I happened to be doing a bit of editing to another article - Using the shell (Terminal) in Mac OS X. As I made some corrections, I thought "Nobody cares about this nowadays". That's not entirely true. That particular page still gets five thousand or more visitors every month and has even been "plussed" a few times, so obviously a few people still care. On the other hand, in the greater world of folks I run into daily, nobody uses the CLI and most don't even know that they could. But why would you use the CLI?"

  • XTerm*background: whiteXTerm*foreground: blackXTerm*pointerColor: redXTerm*pointerColorBackground: black
  • konsole takes a whooping 8MB and gnome-terminal over 3MB of memory, you can run xterm under 1MB
  • Create a '.Xresources' file in your home directory and enter the values that you want to set. My .Xresources file is as follows:
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • By pressing [Ctrl] key and the middle mouse button, you get a pop-up menu which helps you set/unset a lot of other features of your xterm window like enabling/disabling the scroll bars and so on.

      If you use the pop up menu to customize your settings, I don't think there is a way to save your preferences. I think you need to use a text editor to create the .Xresources file as Ravi describes above.

    My Ubuntu 9.04 installation does not seem to listen to the .Xresources file. I am trying to figure out why.

  • LaserJet users needed to define a custom paper size to deal with the unprintable area on all four sides of a page printed by all LaserJet models.

    Why doesn't Firefox figure out the printable area from the PPD? Meanwhile, a custom paper size should mostly resolve it.
