Or maybe, no more Windows exposure for my XEmacs 
Had to remove XEmacs from my Windows partition. No, I’m not quitting on my favorite editor. It’s just that I want to give more disk space for my brothers (who use Windows) and just stick to XEmacs on Linux. Running XEmacs on Windows felt a bit like cheating - like enjoying a pizza in the library - like you’re not really supposed to have that much fun in Windows. There were also a dozen small things that you had to deal with when you try to maintain code originally meant for Unixens on a Windows machine (i.e. mapping files and directories), such that putting in new libraries (with install instructions assuming a Unix context), can be quite pain. Until now I haven’t figured out how to make the Windows version play well with LaTEX and PDF, as well as Emacs Wiki and PlannerMode.

Hehehe. Planner mode on the Windows port of Emacs is easy… I don’t see how you’d have trouble with it. As for some modes like the pdf one, emms, etc - yeah, I haven’t figured those out yet but I am now on Ubuntu here in the office so I am happy using Emacs for lots of stuff

i think it’s because i’m using xemacs. i don’t see the .emacs file (what i have is an .xemacs folder, which i can’t open with an editor) i have a feeling that with enough googling/twiddling i can get it to work, but i just don’t have time. i’m hoping things will be easier if i just stick to the linux partition for all my computing needs, and use xemacs there. note that i still don’t want to let go of the xemacs flavor ;).
