Porteus

Just a note on something I find handier than bringing up an editor like mousepad, or other notetaker / post it applications if I have a browser available:

Basically one just brings up a big editable content box in the url bar:

It's blank with no cursor. Just click to get your cursor and start typing.

You can easily increase or decrease the font size by the usual scaling of the browser (ctrl + / - ) usually.

You can also

search (ctrl-f)
save file (ctrl-s)
open file (ctrl-o)

I usually save the url in my bookmarks, but then edit the properties or rename it something like "text editor"

There are more complex versions of this documented online, but I nearly have this one memorized.

Just watch for common mistakes, like colons and semicolons, forgetting the comma and the space ....

Handy.

Interesting.

It's my universal note-taker "goto" when I'm working on locked-down thin clients or whatever and don't feel like keeping a pad of paper with me.

It's also a very sneaky back-door to introduce the younger generation to the joys of html programming on a rainy day. Or javascript etc, regardless of hardware/os. The browsers do have to be somewhat modern, since old versions may not support the <contenteditable> flag in the url bar.

Along with this is the internal file-browser:
or maybe directly to your user directory: If they show an interest or aptitude, then I'll burn them a bootable stick of Porteus.

Hi nanZor,
