If I need to do anything like that in future I'll see what I can manage. In the mean time though, I'm working on publicising the tools that I install in the other thread. There is a lot left to do, but I'm getting there. I hope to be repeating the experience on the eee this coming weekend.
As for setup, with eclipse it's just a matter of installing the CDT tools and egit/jgit plugin. I really don't do anything too exciting, I assure you :-)
---------------------------------
JB2 (I wouldn't forget you Jean), Poobuntu is a good choice for a noob, it comes with most of the advantages of Debian (yes, that is what I use) but an easier time installing and configuring certain things. I really don't think Debian is all that bad at all, but some apparently do. The trouble with ubuntu is that when you decide you want something custom, you are screwed because everything is hacked together to work in a hard coded way. I like to tweak so it doesn't suit me.
I've been thinking of putting an open source software forum section in this open forums area. Perhaps I'll get around to it soon, in the mean time, feel free to ask questions here or in the lounge. Don't be shy.
With deb and screwbuntu all you really need to know about is :
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-cache search <keyword(s)>
apt-cache show <package name>
apt-get install <package name>
You also need to know to setup your sources.list with appropriate extra entries. (universe and multiverse for spewbuntu).
Fred.
