if you are familiar with latex, we can use the prosper class or beamer class. There are many editors for latex around. Pick the kind you prefer.

Hello,

i have been using emacs-snapshot for a while now. It is being very nice. Since Im in the middle of project I didn't get rid of emacs21. So, both emacs-snapshot and emacs21 are co-existing....

Instead of:
if [$timeofday = "yes" ]

you should use:
if [$timeofday == "yes" ]

The same for:
Use:
elif [$timeofday == "no" ];

Addict to WMaker. It is a very productive enviroment. I use it for 4 years now in many different computers. I have tried some others few months ago. WMaker seems to be more pro for me. This is...

You are right, indeed. Thanks.

Anyway, there seems to be not many good options out there. I will see this Y-windows and one called rio, but both seems to be incomplete.

Why not? Just for the sake of test in a spare computer. Boldly going where I haven't been before.

Is someone aware of any development of display server other than X-windows for linux? Could point some links?

One can choose distros, window managers, browsers, editors and other things, which is...

I have looked around in the web, and happen to learn that what you've just said is correct. Emacs has to be compiled with xft support. I did't know that emacs was not able to support these fonts. I...

This how-to seems to be very nice. I didn't try it yet, so forgive my ignorance.
If I installed emacs from the repositories with apt-get, as usual. And then install some fonts in X, maybe using xft,...

1) This apt-cache showpkg is telling in brackets after the version number from where it is coming from. This directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ is update with apt-get update. So, if you insert another...

This is really very nice. I like a lot low ram. I wonder with kind of problem you are...

This is a nice how-to.

My problem is the following: I have installed new fonts (cleartype, for instance) in my box. For other applications, like Firefox, I could choose to use these fonts. In amsn...

The best link of links on djvu so far, in my opinion:

Still looking.

Ther is no pointers. Consider the function built before. Just use:

a=[1,2,3]
b=[3,2,1]
print soma_vec(a,b)

x=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
y=[7,6,5,4,3,2,1]
print soma_vec(x,y)

It was a very nice experience. I just got a book, like you. And I had the luck to have some problems to solve (mainly physics and math ones). That's the most important. I learned in a day the most...

1)
a=[1,2]
b=[2,2]
a+b

This simple example show you you don't have to declare the variable before use it. Also, have a look at the type "list" in your books.

2)
def soma_vec(a,b):

maybe, this a permission problem. See the permission with:

Try also:
chmod +x a.out

Gord, thanks a lot for the tip. I was not aware of this new module.

http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-subprocess.html

I haven't found any apt module in the site above, though.

Basically what you are going to use is the module os, with the function system for the command wget and dpkg. Something like:

import os

print "doonloading"
os.system('wget [options]...
