How do you send command line apps directly to the background? Thanks! I'm about to switch to zsh. I've been hearing so much good stuff about it. |

Is there a file menu plugin for vim (not gVim) that creates a text-based GUI menu system? The the mere fact that the user is using vim (despite if it has a gui window) allows him/her to start learning jedi programming tricks, unlike other editors with a gui. |

Is there a file menu plugin for vim (not gVim) that creates a text-based GUI menu system? It may be frowned upon to have menus in vim, but a good menu system would help people learn by showing the exact keystrokes required next to each menu item, I believe. Just like how in gVim it shows you the keystrokes; that's helpful in learning vim. Plus, a new user may not be a vim ninja, but at least he has the powers of vim, despite the fact that he uses a GUI menu. You have to admit, although vim has a gui menu system (which you don't have to use), it's still better than having any other text editor, even for users who use the menu. |

How do you send command line apps directly to the background? Interesting, let me see if this can be done in Bash. If so, this would be a solution. I'm not familiar with zsh. Mind explaining what your script does? |

How do you send command line apps directly to the background? Between pressing ctrl+z and executing bg, there's a timeframe that the app is completely paused, which is what I don't want. So there's no way to send it to background immediately? |

How do you send command line apps directly to the background? That's useful, but not what I mean. If I have the app in the foreground, then want to send it to background later, I can press ctrl+z then execute bg at the command line to the app runs in the background. But between pressing ctrl+z and executing bg, there's a timeframe that the app is completely paused. I don't want that. How do I send it to background immediately? |

How do you send command line apps directly to the background? @Joe That's cool, but not at all what I mean. I just want to send an app directly to background without pausing it. i.e. without pressing ctrl+z followed by running the command bg. Is there a single keystroke combo to send the app to background? |

mount error “is not a block device” I totally understand what you mean, and that's what I'm trying to do, but it's doing something really odd, completely different. /olddir exists, and /newdir does not exist. Then, after I run ln -s /olddir /newdir, it is creating /newdir/olddir which links to /olddir. I don't want it to create /newdir/olddir. I want it to create /newdir only, which should link to /olddir, but that's not what happening. So instead of making /newddir, it is making /newdir/olddir. It's so weird!!! Get what I mean? |

mount error “is not a block device” Exactly the answer! |

mount error “is not a block device” I'm trying what you suggested, but instead of linking from olddir to newdir, it create a symlink called olddir inside newdir. So for example, after doing ln -s /olddir /newdir I end up with /newdir/olddir@ which links to /olddir. How do I make it do what you said? |

How do I give global access to a file in a private folder? Any idea why making a symbolic link to it in some other global folder doesn't let users read the file through the symbolic link, but why using real links (i.e. not using the -s switch) works just fine? |

How can I monitor all outgoing requests/connections from my machine? Nice, that's also available on Arch Linux: archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/conntrack-tools -- Could you provide an example of how you'd use conntrack to see only connections started from local but not connections started from elsewhere? |

Will there be third party compositing with Gnome 3, or will it be limited? It's sad to learn that Gnome developers are thinking of dropping Fallback mode at the release of Gnome 3.7 or 3.8. live.gnome.org/ThreePointSeven/Features/DropOrFixFallbackMode I love my Classic (Fallback) desktop with Compiz. That will be too bad if they drop the Classic mode. Gnome Shell is also slow as s*** compared to Compiz. |

Is there an excellent tutorial on how to resize a rootfs partition (and shrink another) on a drive that is 100% allocated? That's a good tutorial. I forgot to mention that my root partition is a rootfs partition though. Updated my question. |
