Citibank Doesn\’t Want Your Business, Linux Users

2009-11-03 1 min read Linux Uncategorized

This is an article from the Citibank customers in US.

When checked with the Customer Service Desk, the confirmed that the payment option does not work on Firefox with Linux. For this time I have made the payment using Cash, but why should there be OS discrimination.

Vi/VIM and Unix/Linux cheatsheets.

2009-10-26 1 min read Linux

I found quite a lot of good information today morning.

Some really good info on vi/vim. I liked the this one:”Also, you don’t have to use the / command as a separator. Anything typed after s will become the separator”
