Need Apps for MeeGo? no problem

I am playing around with Asus X101 (excellent, excellent thingie for it’s price). First I was surprised for lack of “apps” (as we called “programs” before iphone descended on this planet).
Then, after looking for some hacks on installing such vital software like skype and teamviewer, it all turned out to be pretty simple – just look for fedora/redhat rpm’s. for example, to set up teamviewer you go to download section in teamviewer site. and select the latest fedora/redhat rpm for download which in time of writing this post is called teamviewer_linux.rpm. Here is what you do with rpm if you dont know what to do with rpm:
After it’s been downloaded, open terminal on MeeGo – Applications->SystemTools->Terminal.
type following in command prompt (mostly you will be in home, but “just in case”):

[user@user-desktop ~]$ cd ~/Downloads
[user@user-desktop ~]$ sudo rpm -i teamviewer_linux.rpm

just change teamviewer_linux.rpm to anything else you have downloaded. for instance, skype.

Could it be the beginning of new era?

Sounds too good to be true. Especially from lips of MS…

Microsoft will not support browser plug-ins, including Adobe’s Flash, in one of the two versions of Internet Explorer to be bundled with Windows 8, a company executive said today.

If you want to find out which program (daemon, app, etc) is using the port in unix environmnet (at least in linux), then netstat come in handy.

run this command in prompt

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25                  0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      2739/??????

where the ?????? part is the answer you are looking for
