It's not that isinstance is good, mind you -- it's just less bad than checking equality of types. The normal, Pythonic, preferred solution is almost invariably "duck typing": try using the argument as if it was of a certain desired type, do it in a try/except

It’s fairly straightforward to install an RPM on Arch:

Download the RPM for your architecture (64- or 32-bit)
Install rpmextract for extracting the RPM and any dependencies the program has (libidn for Google Music Manager for example) with pacman
Now create a new folder, move the RPM file to it and go there
Run rpmextract.sh and you’ll get a directory structure based on the root (/) in the current directory
Copy the files to where they belong in your own file hierarchy

Add a ./ in front of the * or filename, e.g. scp ./* user@host.com:. Then scp will see the ./ before the colon, and know it’s a file. That trick also helps if you have a file named - (yes, dash) or which starts with a dash (some programs don’t like that).

After posting the latest Arch Installation tutorial, I realized I should probably post a list of the commands I used, and what some of them do, so here you go!

If you have recently updated to Gnome 3.4.1, you will find that you will be unable to launch system settings from user menu as well as from applications.

This is a good starting point for your .vimrc:

set nocompatible " choose no compatibility with legacy vi
syntax enable
set encoding=utf-8
set showcmd " display incomplete commands
filetype plugin indent on " load file type plugins + indentation

"" Whitespace
set nowrap " don't wrap lines
set tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 " a tab is two spaces (or set this to 4)
set expandtab " use spaces, not tabs (optional)
set backspace=indent,eol,start " backspace through everything in insert mode

"" Searching
set hlsearch " highlight matches
set incsearch " incremental searching
set ignorecase " searches are case insensitive...
set smartcase " ... unless they contain at least one capital letter
