Lately, I have been experiencing a funny network issue when using VMware Workstation VMs with NAT interface. Roughly, the IP network was working fine, but DNS resolution was not anymore.

Bazaar (bzr) is a distributed version control system (VCS) sponsored by Canonical and thus bzr is widely used by the Ubuntu community.

Like any vcs, bzr will let you track the different version of your code locally and let you push the changes to a remote server.

One cool feature of bzr is that you can maintain a remote copy of your code history without having a bzr server running, nor having a copy of bzr on the remote server running and simply by using ssh to transport the data.

This tutorial will not explain how bzr works, but will show the couple few step to create your local repository, add a few files, commit the changes, push them to a remote server and copy the branch newly created to another machine.

Terminator gives the possibility of having multiples terminal within the same window.

As such, it makes it easier to handle multiple terminal sessions as for instance, working in one console and monitoring another one without constantly switching from a window to another.
