programming. I have emacs. But still not very comfortable in it. I am referring
You can use any text editor like vi/emacs just figure it out for yourself which one you like the most... :)
- Sometimes it shows error: Nautilus has no
installed viewer capable of displaying "/boot/grub/stage1" (or any other file)
tht's coz nautilus is trying to open the file and can't b'coz it doesn't have any viewers available to view it... (personally i have no clue why it's opening /boot/grub/stage1... maybe u clicked on it or ur keyboard has a stuck key.. just a guess)
- I changed some settings and now when shutting
down linux I get the message : Shutting down NMB services [Failed] Shutting down SMB services [Failed]

Linux. If exists then how to give password to my contacts folder as I don't want to share it. Also how to give password facility for the contacts foler in address book on Windows.(urgently needed)
