Day Three - Configuring Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 "squeeze"

More pedestrian things, tonight.

Configure vim colors

Via my 2008 post:

• sudo cp /usr/share/vim/vim72/colors/koehler.vim /usr/share/vim/vim72/colors/koehler.vim.bak
• I did not actually finish this one...I think I changed it when I edited software....

Configure vim  .vimrc

• From my 2009 post, copied and pasted into ~/.vimrc .
• Historical note: the "rc" in ".vimrc" derives from "runcom", from the MIT CTSS system, ca. 1965. More.

Configure GNOME Terminal 2.30.2 colors

Via my 2008 post:

• Font: Terminal, 6-point or Monospace Regular 10 pt.
• Default Foreground Color="0,255,0"
• Default Bold Foreground="255,255,255"
• Default Background="0,55,0"
• Default Bold Background="85,85,85"
• Lines of scrollback: 9999
• Rows: 100
• Columns: 100

Not sure how to resize automatically to 80x43?

• Using gconf-editor does not seem to work
• Changed command of Terminal to "gnome-terminal --geometry=80x43"

Install Eclipse Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE 

via Software Center

• Search for Eclipse Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE
• Select, then select button Install
• Done; close Software Center
