Next project coming up! I want to have the laptop running so that I can have some use for it. Maybe run some services on it instead of in a VM on my desktop? But also so that I can chat while playing games ;) I want to put Linux on …

Hey! Recently found out that there are some quite awesome shortcuts available that I've missed - extremely useful if you use the bash shell in *Nix. To see which one you are using you can type 'chsh' in a terminal - this will tell you if you are using /bin/bash. Go …
