Convert ODT to PDF, working...

unoconv seems to be the best option. Not working on Arch or Ubuntu at the moment.
I'm using go-oo. Get  DocumentConverter.py here http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/pyodconverter

Now on Ubuntu:

soffice -accept="socket,port=8100;urp;"
python ./DocumentConverter.py ./input.doc ./output.pdf


or
for i in *.doc ; do python ./DocumentConverter.py "$i" "$i.pdf" ; done; 


NUP it up
for i in *.pdf ; do echo  pdfnup --nup 2x2 "$i" ; done;
JOIN them
pdfjoin *2x2.pdf
PRINT
lpr *joined.pdf

SSH portforwarding, followed by SMB/CIFS mount. For i.a. ReadyNAS

Something like this in .ssh/config file

• ssh user@hostname -L 1139:192.168.1.60:139

I use 127.0.0.1:1139 so I don't have to be root for this portforwarding (port <1024).>

• mount.smbfs //localhost/SHARE ~/mnt/hostname/ -o port=1139,user=SAMBAUSER,rw

Windows XP on second hard drive, Linux on the first. Boot fix

I tried to install xp next to my linux. Linux was on hard disk one. I tried to install XP on hard disk two. That's almost inpossible... XP can't find the bootloader e.d. It's just awesome. So I removed disk one and installed XP on disk two (the only disk at that moment). Afterwards I could show my GRUB skills.... This did the trick:

• title XP
• rootnoverify (hd1,0)
• map (hd0) (hd1)
• map (hd1) (hd0)
• makeactive
• chainloader +1
