"...In this section, you'll learn how to set up Remember and take quick notes in Emacs. We'll start by configuring Remember to save your notes to a file, and how to configure Remember to save to different places depending on the content. You'll also learn how to quickly search your notes file for entries. You can also integrate Remember into other note-taking systems in Emacs. The sections that cover those systems will also show you how to configure Remember to save your notes there..."

"I use Carsten Dominik’s great emacs package org-mode for project planning, appointments and TODOs... One cool feature is that it integrates nicely with the remember package. So when an idea comes into my mind I need to remember for later, I hit M-x org-remember RET which presents me a buffer with a custom template, I type my note and hit C-c C-c.

Several years back, I remember meeting some guys from Phoenix Technologies, one of the major developers of PC firmware, who showed me one such idea whose rebirth is well overdue.

If you blinked you might have missed the announcement of the new 2.6.34 kernel. Things have been happening very quickly around file systems and storage in the recent kernels so it’s probably a good idea to review the kernels from 2.6.30 to 2.6.34 and see what developments have transpired.

Perhaps your company is just switching to Linux, to save on costs. Or, maybe you’re starting University, and you have no idea how to get around the Linux Systems they’ve just installed. Or if you’re like me, you’re curious about how Linux works, and you have it installed at home.

"I'm just writing up an article about the Libre.fm project which I hope can help to promote the idea and spread the word. I wondered if you could give me a quick outline of why you set it up and/or what you aim to achieve with it. Nothing epic just a couple of lines I could include would be really great.

Around the Eee PC boom, the idea of a special quick-boot OS for checking email and surfing the web arose, largely thanks to a company called Device VM (better known as Splashtop). Though it's a cool idea that has just started to take off, it's not clear how long it will last.

It was nine years ago this month that Gerard Beekmans started the very successful project called Linux From Scratch, or LFS for short. It was December of the year 1999 when LFS was first released but that is not when it was started. That start began in February. Gerard is not exactly sure of the date, he just knows that it is in February.

As I pointed out recently, open-source software in schools isn't just a good idea, it's becoming a financial necessity if we're to keep enough teachers for our kids in classrooms. So, it's particular good timing that Sugar Labs and openSUSE have released free Linux distributions expressly designed for education.
