From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just tried Org-mode today (discuss.online)

Always heard about org mode but was intimidated by emacs when I could barely manage vi/vim (sorry guys). Installed a plugin for org-mode for Sublime Text today and... shit, why didn't I try this sooner?

I have thousands of text files with horrible organization, thrown around multiple directories, no common naming scheme, no hierarchy, no unified notation, just ramblings and a barely marginal attempt at organization using === as title markers. I have links and ideas buried deep and I didn't want to use a third party tool "just for managing text".

Well, my eyes are open, and thus I'm euphoric, enlightened by its brilliance. I must rewrite all my stuff in org-mode.

There used to be an awesome vi tutorial page at the University of Hawaii but it's no longer there. You might find it archived on the internet archive way back though.

There's also the game to help learn vim.

Huh! That's pretty cool. I've bookmarked the site to check it out later. Thanks!

Full disclosure, I think you have to pay to get past like the second level.
