#### Introduction #### Accents under Emacs #### X Curse #### About X #### Debian in Spain #### StarOffice for Linux #### Accents under Linux #### Keyboard Maps #### Printing #### International #### Documentation #### GCC &apm; Java #### Programming |
### Introduction Well...here are some notes, tricks, some of these are specific to non-english speaking users and therefore not frequently answered in the common documentation. I hope these are useful for you now or sometime in the future. ### Accents and others in Spanish for Emacs The only thing to do is to write in the file `/.emacs` the following:
    iso_accents_mode

    standard_display_european
### All the documentation for RDBMS Mysql Emacs It can be found in: http://www.tcx.se ### Course on X11 (spanish only) It is available in: http://laurel.datsi.fi.upm.es/~fperez/cursoX/indice.html ### Anything about X11 You can research and get informed on X11 here: http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.framed.html ### Debian in Spain Spanish users can get information on this Linux distribution at: http://www.virtualoffice.es/hispalinux or also at the following address: http://www.ediser.es/hispalinux ### StarOffice for Linux There is a beta version of this Linux suite for free at this site: http://www.stardiv.com/staroffice/ At the moment they have available a static version, that is no Motif libraries needed. ### Accents under Linux To get accents working on your shell, create the file `.inputrc` in your home directory containing the following:
    set meta-flag on

    set output-meta on

    set convert-meta off

    LC_CTYPE=iso_8859_1

    export LC_CTYPE
### Changing the Keyboard Map: Would you like, for whatever reason, to change the keyboard mapping on your workstation? Run this:
    keytbls

    xxx.map
where xxx.map is the new map you wish to load. ### Handling Printing: Let us review a series of commands to easily handle the printer queue. The command `"lpq"` lets you examine the printer queue. With the -l option we get a full listing of information of the jobs queued,
    lpq  -l
`"lprm"` lets you remove jobs queued in the printer spool for printing,
    lprm [-Pprinter] [-] [user] [#]
Between the brackets are optional parameters. The option `"-"` deletes all the jobs on the printer spool specified by -P. If -P is not given, then it will use the default printer. To delete a specific job number use the "#" option, the job number is given by the system when you print the file. Finally `"lpc"`, lets you check the state of the printer and controls some aspects of its use. ### Linux International: http://www.li.org/linux-int/ ### Documentation in Spanish: All the documentation on Linux available in Spanish can be found at: http://www.infor.es/LuCAS ### GCC and JAVA: Files with the largest amount of information originally from the mailing lists linux-gcc y linux-java are in: http://homer.ncm.com ### Programming: Would you like to participate in a mailing list on programming under Linux completely in Spanish? write to: majordomo@compendium.com.ar Leave the subject field empty and write in the body:
    subscribe linux-prog
To send mail to the list simply address it to: linux-prog@compendium.com.ar
