comment How to exit VIM and get back to 'normal' terminal?
Vim is pretty useful if you use it remotely (e.g. via SSH). Also, it has several features that used to be not as powerful or easy to access in other editors, especially non-GUI ones. I've been using vim for ten years (still do), but today, for a GUI, I'd maybe suggest Eclipse. I hope not to start an editor war here :-)

Well, yes. You should avoid recoding wherever you can; any manipulation can only keep the original quality (at best), and it usually makes things worse. Entropy can only increase, after all :-)

comment GRUB error: unknown filesystem
You're apparently not booting from the DVD, otherwise the grub rescue would be cut off. I seem to remember Asus has a F2 or a F12 boot menu to choose boot device...?

comment Why directories size are different in ls -l output on XFS file system?
I did that out of curiosity, the actual space seems to be between 155 and 159 bytes indeed. The part you quoted referred to a file with extended attributes and data extent pointers, but a small directory may do without either, and so have more space available.
