Hmmm…

I was more thinking about a kind of fancy widget screen application.
weather, rss, todolist. mail checking, note…

A home screen

I think Screenlets might be ported, those seem applicable.

Troydude6, the program you are looking for is called EMACS.

Only if it has a good text editor built-in


I do hope that was irony

Well, if it wasn't, let's educate him: Yes, EMACS has SciTE built in, just go C-x C-m "scite" and you're in

EMACS is a pretty good operating system text editor, but I don't use it as much as I'd want to.

I am secure in my manliness.... I use nano and I am not afraid to admit it!
Although I prefer SciTE if there's an X server handy.

Oh, it comes to preferences does it... I prefer Kate over anything really. There's no editor that I know of that has so many features while still being easy to use. Heck, it's got the functionality of a C++ IDE built-in Not to mention syntax highlighting for almost every language out there... I pity you non-KDE-users, you are really missing something!

kids these days..

the only true answer ™ is vi - god's own editor.
ans that's regardless of any pesky WM environments.

I'm going to use Kate a lot more once I'm in tasty KDE 4 again.
Right now I'm in GNOME purgatory.

Nah, vi sucks (no offense but it's just counterproductive to stick with vi, it's like using ed). VIM on the other hand is an excellent editor, I use it as often as I use Kate; it's just so much faster than anything out there.

Kate getting vi emulation mode was a very interesting development.

while i agree with you about vim being better than vi, the original phrase is vi - god's own editor, not vim - god's own editor, so your statement is phraseologically false as god's own editor cannot suck, by definition.

I'm all for a bittorrent client for the pandora!

monotheistic Judaic god may use vi, but Shiva uses Emacs

QUOTE
Most torrent clients I know of write to disk far too often

...

In my experience when appending or overwriting files, FAT32 tends to favour in-order allocation of clusters. Also, if it doesn't have to move something... why move it?

Indeed, the bane of SD cards is log files, which might be written to the same spot over and over, so long as the size doesn't change dramatically.

I don't have any knowledge about vfat or how Linux handles all this, but I know FAT32 on Windows isn't doing any of that wear levelling you say it should. The first part of the SD card will probably wear out long before the last parts, which means your card is either going to drop in capacity or be rendered useless well before it should.

 

[lulzfish]

I think the SD controller handles the wear levelling on its own.
That or the SD card. Hard to say.

Alright well this topic needs more use now that I have answers.
