I promised to some colleagues that someday, I will make a short post about my Eclipse eclipse.ini file, there it is!

Using Eclipse with some fancy plugins, you may experience a lot of the infamous quite annoying OutOfMemoryException or some incredible slowness sometime.

I was a Fedora user until Fedora Core 6 but the second Ubuntu distribution was a really nice experience so I made the jump (fast packaging system, huge repo, etc).

Since 9.04 (or just before) I have been annoyed by the notification system NotifyOSD, I find disturbing to blur (or hide w/o compositing) the message on mouseover and the popup doesn’t provide contextual actions. The Ayatana project get Ubuntu away from the upstream development (many patches to integrate libindicate, etc).

Why installing Oracle 64 bits

Ubuntu provides a nice and easy tutorial for installing Oracle 10 XE on 32 bits systems, thats works also on 64bits sytems, but:

• This is for Oracle XE, non standard or enterprise edition
• Database is limited to 5 simultaneous connections
• Default Tora 64 bits won't work on 64 bits systems with the Oralce XE 32 bits editions
• Oracle XE is limited in functionalities, url_quote, for example, is not provided with this distribution

I finnished ysterday to make the neccessary patches to make compile all dependencies on the minitage tree on linux 64 bits.

The guest OS is a debian etch 64.

There were some trivial fixes, mainly the whole packages compiled without any problems.

I did not find the time earlier to post about it.

Minitage 1.0 is out for a week now.
