I use the Zim Desktop Wiki http://zim-wiki.org/ plus Dropbox.

Zim is a graphical text editor used to maintain a collection of wiki pages. Each page can contain links to other pages, simple formatting and images. Pages are stored in a folder structure, like in an outliner, and can have attachments. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a nonexistent page. All data is stored in plain text files with wiki formatting. Various plugins provide additional functionality, like a task list manager, an equation editor, a tray icon, and support for version control.
If you need version control, Zim supports Bazaar, Git, and Mercurial as backends.

Zim is not network aware, so I just keep its ~/Notes files in my Dropbox folder, install that and the desktop Linux/Windows/OSX Zim client as needed and I'm good to go.

Unfortunately, there is no smartphone version of Zim, but I have little need for a smartpone app of this sort. I do email myself info as needed to integrate into Zim later.

Not worth it.

This will fail miserably.

Another speed tip: Use the mobile version of the website.

The biggest differences between them are admin tools and init/rc stuff as well as the language the tools are written in. The packaging systems (RPM vs .DEB) are really not as great a difference since they accomplish essentially the same thing overall. The biggest packaging difference is how they name things and where they put them; this is also the most frustrating difference.

You'll notice that most general/new-release distro reviews are superficial, noting things like application/kernel version numbers and what DE is chosen and what default apps are installed -- all meaningless since any DE and most any app and most any kernel can be installed on any distro. These are reviews written by newbies for newbies. Apparently the people who know the significant underlying differences don't write reviews or don't know enough about other distros to draw a meaningful comparison.

Here's a review I wrote comparing Mageia with Fedora, which I hope is not the typical kind of review.

Why not compare these to Ubuntu? Behind the scenes where it matters, it's too different from Fedora/Mageia for me to get a handle on it without obtaining a more intimate knowledge of Ubuntu, something I have no real need or desire to do. My only gripe about Ubuntu is that too much software is developed for it that is reliant on Ubuntu-specific scripts and such things that it cannot easily be used on other Linux distros; HOWTOs written for Ubuntu are so Ubuntu-specific that they are rendered almost useless for any other distro (they seem to be written by the same folks that write the superficial reviews).

sfcrazy and others do Fedora and Ubuntu a disservice by making these uninformed and superficial comparisons.

You get what you measure for.

These studies also reveal that when it comes to passwords, women prefer length and men diversity.

We are still talking about passwords, right?

They should have called it ZuneOS.

People can have opinions, but those who feel the need to rant about such things are simply being asshats when they hold a position of public trust. They can reign it in or find a private sector job.

How will they establish "intent".

Does merely having a compartment establish the intent?

Usually, such circular logic does not hold up well in highre courts.

Sorry - Brad's phone number is 202-407-9179.

I know he'd like to hear from a many people as possible.

If you can get one to kill himself onlline, please share the link to the video.

I received such a call from Brad with a D.C area code.

His goal was to get me to install remote-access software on my Windows PC.

He was genuinely confused as to why none of the commands he asked me to run weren't working on my Linux computer.
