'apt-get upgrade' upgrades everything. Everything. To upgrade only one package, 'apt-get install <pkg>'. askubuntu.com/questions/4412…
Meanwhile, in OCD-land, "cls" doesn't clear the terminal, "clear" does. I refuse to make an alias for "cls". #muscleMemory #stubborn #learn
Sublime Text 2: CTRL+PGUP and CTRL+PGDN cycle through tabs. This works with Excel too #ExcelIsAllPowerful #DontGetMeStartedAboutPivotTables
Ubuntu: CTRL+SHIFT+C copies, CTRL+SHIFT+V pastes in the Terminal. ESC doesn't work to clear the current command (use CTRL+U).
Remedial YAML: when 'import "YAML"' throws an error, try 'import "yaml"' in lowercase #caseMattersNow #ThisIsUnix #IKnowThis
Remedial Sublime Text 2: If files are not showing up in the Folder List (or Goto Anything), Project->Refresh Folders menu item fixes it.
Every time I update Ubuntu via the Update Manager, it breaks VirtualBox extensions. Reinstall to fix. I don't know why yet, don't care why
Ubuntu: they have the same weird thing as Windows about hiding the menu bar by default. To get your File menu back, tap & hold ALT.
CTRL+ALT+T to open a Terminal in Ubuntu. How many will you need? More than one, or I'm doing something wrong #ImProbablyDoingSomethingWrong
Sublime Text 2 on Ubuntu: I recommend installing it via apt-get because a) it shows up on my Start Menu, b) "subl ." on the terminal works
Sublime Text 2 on Ubuntu: either this webupd8.org/2011/03/sublim… or ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/104 worked. #DontRememberWhichWorked #AptGetRussianRoulette
The "hosts file" lives at /etc/hosts, but remember to sudo edit it. This is not any different from Windows, which throws a UAC prompt @ you.
Tapping the "Windows key" on your keyboard will launch a very Win7-like Start Menu on Ubuntu. Pinning & WINKEY+NUM work similar to Win7 too.
RVM on Ubuntu: this guide beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/ is great & works, but don't forget to edit your .bash_profile! Don't be me. #CantRead #ADD
