The point is, you can have windows and linux running at the same time on one screen and work with both of them at the same time! Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Doing it is very easy, just get the virtualbox into ’seamless mode.’

To do this, you need to install VirtualBox and have a legitimate copy of Windows, whether windows XP or Vista doesn’t matter, something that works ( which unfortunately is not the case with any of them ). Now, configure the virtual machine which is a virtual windows, like this:

1) On the ‘General’ section drag the “Video Memory Size” slider to 64.

2) On the ‘Audio’ section check the “Enable Audio” box.

3) On the ‘Remote Display’ section check the “Enable VRDP Server” box.

Now, run the virtual machine and install the guest additions.

Go to machine > seamless mode and you’re done

VIM ( Vi IMproved ) is a simple but very powerful text editor which you can use it to write scripts and generally anything. It’s just a text editor which happened to be so powerful. You can use it inside the terminal which gives you the ability to use it in a non-GUI interface ( which I’m going to try now ) and it has its OWN shortcuts. Weird but understandable shortcuts which are again, easy to get used to. Editing is efficient in it, as I found it more efficient in writing C++ codes.

Anyway, for more information you can see www.VIM.org

For downloading it, if you use linux ( at least one of the most popular distros ) you just need to search in your package manager. For example, in case of fedora, the package is: VIM-X11

now, some quick tips to get started:

- if you want to get started, in terminal, type: $ vimtutor

- with ESC key, you go to the normal mode.

- with ‘i’ key, you can start inserting code.

- for saving: go to normal mode and type ‘:w’ without quotations

- for exiting VIM, go to normal mode and type ‘:q!’ without quotations

There are a lot of useful shortcuts which you can learn through VIM tutor ( vimtutor ). Also there is an IRC channel, #vim, if you would like to join and learn more about VIM through live talk.
