Comment Re:Give Linux some time. (Score 1) 346

I work for one of the major ATM vendors in the world and replacing Windows with Linux has become one of the top priorities across the whole portfolio (which is now a lot of other things than just ATMs).

Good to hear as long as you don't leave unnecessary services, libraries, applications and backdoors in the Linux system to make it vulnerable.

And I'm surprised QNX never made any inroads in to this use.

Comment I use Zim plus Dropbox (Score 4, Interesting) 133

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.
