gimpsvn.sh — Install or update to GIMP 2.5 from SVN on Ubuntu 8.04
via fsckin w| linux by Wayne on May 07, 2008
I’ve been wanting to try out GIMP 2.5 for quite some time now, and plenty of other folks are certainly looking forward to the new interface, among other things. In my somewhat limited observations of the GIMP development team, I’ve found that the volunteers who manage the project are what some would call “anal retentive.”Put the shoe on the other food, and I might be totally off the mark...

Number Pad Madness
via Daily Vim by Travis Whitton on May 07, 2008
A friend of mine was trying to use the numpad inside Vim using Putty (Win32 SSH Client). Unfortunately, this wasn't working for him and was just echoing a bunch of alphabetic characters to his term. After looking online for a few minutes, we found a fix.Go into Terminal->Features-> and check in "Disable Application cursor keys mode". Hopefully this helps some Windows users out there.

How much memory is in the box? (all UNIX, OpenVMS)
via UNIX Administratosphere by ddouthitt on May 03, 2008
How much memory is in this machine?It would seem that answering this question ought to be easy; it is - but every system has the answer in a different place. Most put an answer of some sort into kernel messages reported by dmesg (AIX apparently does not).Most systems have a program for system inventory which reports a variety of things, including memory.Rather than go into great detail about...

But then I realized I was in a message filter, and that'd be illegal to do so." "Okay, so I realize that I went over my minutes," Sam said, "but c'mon...

This is very popular among developers because of it’s practical and coolness factor. I personally use it to view source-codes or get an interactive process status of my system with htop.
