Olá,
Todos nós já passamos por aquele problema “cabeludo” e complicado de ser resolvido, não?! Para alguns a solução é dar uma volta e/ou cevar um novo chimarrão com alecrim para clarear as ideias 
E se mesmo assim o problema persistir, o esquema é então trocar uma ideia com um amigo para tentar clarear o problema.
Sim! Todos nós já passamos por tal situação. OK, talvez nem todos tenham cevado um chimarrão, mas o que importa é que na maioria das vezes precisamos compartilhar um log, arquivo de configuração, trecho de código, etc e colar essas mensagens via MSN/gtalk/ICQ/Jabber/IRC o que é um tanto quanto incoveniente sem contar que a formatação pode ser alterada, dificultando a leitura.
Uma maneira rápida de compartilhar logs/códigos sem precisar realizar todo o procedimento de abrir o browser, copiar e colar a mensagem utilizando sites como o PasteBin.com por exemplo, é utilizar o aplicativo fpaste no Fedora.
A simples ferramenta fpaste consiste em um script em Python(++) que envia o texto para o site fpaste.org retornando a URL recém gerada. Um ponto interessante em minha opinião é que a ferramenta permite a customização, como por exemplo definir a linguagem do trecho de texto compartilhado que irá receber a respectiva syntax highlighting. Por enquanto a permanência máxima para os dados compartilhados é de no máximo 1 dia.
notebook $> rpm -q fpaste fpaste-0.3.7-1.fc16.noarch
A utilização do script é bem simples.
notebook $> fpaste --help Usage: fpaste [OPTION]... [FILE]... send text file(s), stdin, or clipboard to the http://fpaste.org/ pastebin and return the URL. Examples: fpaste file1.txt file2.txt dmesg | fpaste (prog1; prog2; prog3) | fpaste fpaste --sysinfo -d "my laptop" --confirm fpaste -n codemonkey -d "problem with foo" -l python foo.py
Para facilitar na customização da ferramenta sugiro a criação de um alias de comando definindo algumas preferências:
notebook $> alias fpaste alias fpaste='fpaste -n mmello -l python -x 3600'
Um funcionalidade que precisa ser destadaca é que podemos compartilhar algumas informações sobre o sistema utilizado. Funcionalidade essa muito interessante em momentos que precisamos de ajuda com aquele driver de som/wifi que não está funcionando.
notebook $> fpaste --sysinfo --confirm

Boa maneira para não se perder nada na colagem, como tabulação/identação. E consumo de scroll
