linux

Well, working on freeBSD right now some immediate learnings for most linux users Ports is as good as apt-get [and i would say much better, when i started installing stuff] You will need to start with installing vim and bash to make your life a lot easier So the target was to install python and nginx, both of which are very easy to install once you understand how the whole ports collection system works....

I know it would be simple for a lot of people reading this blog :). But the easiest way to remote desktop into a windows machine using a X based linux distro is to install rdesktop. http://www.rdesktop.org For ubuntu and debian based distro, fire up the console and type sudo apt-get install rdesktop This would install the client. rdesktop <server IP/domain> This would fire up the windows remote desktop stuff.
