Ubuntu ToDo

[gusl]

* get wireless to work

* get cedilla: Ubuntu's US-Intl keyboards have "ć", but not "ç".

* get tablet pen to work: so far I've verified that some device can see the pen.

* shell closing weirdness: this sequence of commands causes my shell to die: (1) vim (2) xemacs &

* install programming tools. OcaIDE (Ocaml plug-in for Eclipse) looks shiny. (Tangentially, I am tempted to free my code by replacing Matlab with NumPy, but that comes with a high price; converting to Octave compatibility would be cheaper, but Octave feels less usable, and maybe it has less of a future)


Luxury:
* It would be nice if my Ubuntu Firefox and my Windows Firefox shared bookmarks.

I've heard tell it's difficult to get tablets to work properly with linux.

to get a cedilla, map a compose key, and then ç is as simple as tapping compose, comma, and c in succession.

Since I'm used to US-Intl (Windows version), I want to make ç by tapping ' and c in succession.

I couldn't get my tablet working on Ubuntu x86, only x64.

Cedilla: http://wiki.ubuntu-br.org/RodrigoLima/Cedilha
My tablet is an HP 2110us, but this worked for me: http://www.securemind.org/v4/?p=455

I can think of something that isn't working on Ubuntu 9.04 right now :)

Dunno about Ubuntu, but this works for me on Debian: Compose , c
(I mapped PrtSc and ScrLk to Compose with xmodmap).

Shell closing: what's in your .zshrc ?
