Using Unix-like Tools And Environment On Windows
Submitted by editor on Wed, 04/29/2009 - 01:34
While I do most of my work on Windows-XP at home, there are things which I prefer to do in a Unix-like environment.
For example, I find Windows version of GNU-Emacs much more convenient for editing text files, while browsing directories and viewing other files. I also use the bash-shell within the Emacs-shell to run Unix-commands from my Cygwin installation.
Microsoft OneCare vs. Norton Ghost For Automatic PC Backups
Submitted by editor on Tue, 04/28/2009 - 18:34
As I am re-imaging my Windows-XP notebook after a crash, I am try Microsoft OneCare as an alternative to other virus/spyware protection software. So far, OneCare appears to do its job well for this purpose.
OneCare also has a data backup feature. I have been using Norton Ghost 9.0 for backing up my PCs at home for a couple of years. I haven't felt the need to upgrade to Ghost 14.0 so far.
