There is absolutely no need to tweak Feisty since it runs very well with the default installation. BUT there are some things that can be done to make it run just a little bit faster and smoother.

The Vim editor allows you to modify its behavior via scripts, and the Vim community has produced hundreds of scripts that may help you be more productive, or add functions to Vim that you've always wished it would have. Here are five that I find particularly useful.

To install most scripts, copy them to your ~/.vim/plugins directory and restart Vim. Each script should (and usually does) have instructions on installing it, so check the script's page for additional directions.

Countless software applications and web sites were built to manage your to do list. But if you're comfortable at the command line and you don't want to depend on someone else's data format or someone else's server, there's an age-old method that's perfect for tracking your stuff: plain text.

Keep on top of all your tasks and projects in a simple file called todo.txt. With a few helper scripts, you can slice, dice, sort, distribute, pipe and munge your lists any way you please. As it should be.

Read more about why plain text makes sense.

KeyJnote is a program that displays presentation slides. But unlike OpenOffice.org Impress or other similar applications, it does so with style. Smooth alpha-blended slide transitions are provided for the sake of eye candy, but in addition to this, KeyJnote offers some unique tools that are really useful for presentations. Read below if you want to know more about these features.

Creating presentations for KeyJnote is very simple: You just need to export a PDF file from your presentation software. This means that you can create slides in the application of your choice and use KeyJnote for displaying them. If your application does not support PDF output, you can alternatively use a set of pre-rendered image files – or you use KeyJnote to make a slideshow with your favorite photos.

In the KAT, if you accept the default when prompted for a place to connect to, it will attempt to connect to a router on a hosting service in Madison, WI. f you instead clear out the address so that you're just entering a blank address, the KAT will start a router for each of the predefined worlds on your local machine, and you will just connect to yourself. A few of the worlds will be empty. Some run scripts that create the worlds with some demo content. Congratulations, you've just set up your machine as a “host”. If that box happens to be at a fixed IP address, you can tell other people to enter that address when prompted, and they will connect to you.
