I wanted to customize the linux box I have to log into.

First I changed my zsh profile:

In my .zshrc file:
     PROMPT="[csil]%~%# "

In order to get zsh to load by default I found out which shell it was running:
    echo $SHELL
    $/bin/tcsh

I set up my ssh such that I don't have to put in the password every time and that I have a shortcut to get to the remote machine.

In this case I'm logging into a school computer named csil.  So I made an alias:
       alias csil='ssh csil'

This calls on ~/.ssh/config which looks like this:
       Host csil
           HostName address.to.remote.computer
           User username

Something else I found helpful along the way (as I had old stuff installed):

gem uninstall --install-dir /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 rails

I had an issue with getting nokogiri working with various gems and plugins, such as
bundler.  This is the steps I took to get it working.  I've used macports on this 
machine and I uninstalled it a few days, trying to use homebrew.   

Uninstall all previous versions of nokogiri  

If you're using brew then make sure you have libxml2 installed 
     brew install libxml2

Then create a sim link
