We are going to install the VMware's product, the earliest company in the Virtualization issue. VMware Server is one of their free products, it creates and manage virtual machine containers like its payment brother, VMware Workstation. But in this case we find the Administration interface at a web breowser. Then we get the whole possibilities create/erase/administer/use virtual machines from a simple web browser, from any site, having access to the host machine. First we have to install, if you do not do it now, the basic packages to compile every thing on Debian. The list of essential packages, and the linux source libraries: 
sudo apt-get install buil-essential linux-headers-'uname -r'
And xinetd package which gives us an advanced access to the kernel networking tools: 
sudo apt-get install xinetd
We are going to install the Beta 2 version of VMware Server 2.0 even if we assume some risks, we can test the new features for the next release. At the link bellow we can download the package, registering previously, being necessary because they provide a serial number which is necessary to activate the product. Unzip and execute the installation script: 
sudo ./vmware-install.pl
After we will configure the package: 
sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
And do not forget modify the user you will access with, writing one which exists in our system in the following file: 
/etc/vmware/hostd/authorization.xml
To execute VMware Server from console: 
sudo vmware
And, finally, we can access to the platform with our favourite web browser: http://localhost:8222

Es un plugin que te permite escribir fragmentos de código en tu página coloreando los elementos del código. Se basa en un desarrollo para emacs (editor de GNU) llamado GeSHi. El plugin actualmente soporta los siguientes lenguajes: abap, actionscript, ada, apache, applescript, asm, **asp**, autoit, **bash**, blitzbasic, bnf, **c**, c_mac, caddcl, cadlisp, cfdg, cfm, cpp-qt, **cpp**, **csharp**, **css**, d, delphi, diff, div, dos, dot, eiffel, fortran, freebasic, genero, gml, groovy, haskell, **html4strict**, idl, ini, inno, io, **java**, **java5**, **javascript**, latex, lisp, lua, m68k, matlab, mirc, mpasm, **mysql**, nsis, **objc**, ocaml-brief, ocaml, oobas, **oracle8**, pascal, per, **perl**, php-brief, **php**, plsql, **python**, qbasic, **rails**, reg, robots, **ruby**, sas, scheme, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty, **sql**, tcl, text, thinbasic, tsql, **vb**, **vbnet**, vhdl, visualfoxpro, winbatch, **xml**, xpp, z80 Descargamos el plugin de su página. Como siempre descomprimimos en el directorio de plugins y activamos. Hay que añadir en la hoja de estilos de nuestro tema (style.css) lo referentes a wp_syntax como comenta an la referencia. De este modo tendremos el scroll automático en cuanto el código sobrepase el acho del contenedor. Nota: poniendo la etiqueta <pre lang=""> no colorea las letras de dentro, haciendo todo en negro. Aunque no coloree sí aplicará los estilos.
