Ubuntu has improved SCIM a lot that now it doesn’t involve such chores to get it working. Just add language support, configure your trigger keys in SCIM setup and relogin. It works like a charm! Check out - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM - for more!!

Comment on Usability by Celeste by Richard Karpinski

Nice. Pretty good summary of UI as Raskin saw it.

A few typos (eg hull for haul) but these could be addressed by asking for a review by a nitpicker.

Great, now I know how to set up a repository!
Which is the part that is missing from my howto (where instead I say something about conflicts).

I’m posting a link hoping that it is of some help together with your guide

Thanks! Great job!

When you say Kisoks, what are they referring to? Are they cellphone kiosks or ATMs or Bhoomi kiosks?

Comment on Oh no! Not another distro! by J-M Tremblay

J-M Tremblay — Mon, 05 May 2008 04:42:50 +0000

Thank god people in here are realistic! Last new distro succes was Ubuntu and they had quite much ressources to use. And one job still needed to be done better : user friendliness

Anyways my plan is to learn perfectly my distro before i think of improving it (and improving Debian will be a hard job, according to what i have seen so far)

This is just geek stuff. I apologize for beginners trying to understand something out of the very unimportant distro issue

Didn’t Debian do the job for that purpose. They are such free integrist that swapped firefox for that logo issue…

Comment on (Bash) Copy with Find by Ed J.

Ed J. — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:05:08 +0000

Thanks, I used this slightly modified version to copy over all my custom Intellij files when I checkout a new branch of code from cvs or svn.

#execute from within the origin branch
# e.g. If copying from ~/branches/seventeen to ~/branches/seventeen_one, then cd into ~/branches/seventeen to execute
#copies .ipr, .iml, .iws

find . -name \*.i?[lrs] -exec cp {} ../seventeen_one/{} \;
