PCLinuxOS 2008 MiniMe tips and tricks
,----[ Quote ]
| PCLinuxOS is awesome. Especially I like the “2008 MiniMe” edition, which
| comes as a bare-bone installable live CD, and contains only the KDE desktop
| essentials. This means that you will have to install all the desired
| applications on top of it, in order to make it a usable desktop system. In
| other words, the approach of 2008 MiniMe is very similar to Microsoft Windows
| XP, which also comes only with a minimal desktop environment and without
| applications. The beauty of this approach is that using PCLinuxOS package
| management (Synaptic) the installation of required applications is a snap and
| the selection of software is customized for your needs. No clutter, no
| useless applications, just the tools you want. As you result you have a
| stable, customized and a very light weight desktop environment.

The Linux Experience
,----[ Quot ]
| Before I end this one, I’m gonna show you my ultimate favorite in Linux. It’s
| the wonderful Terminal equipped with Fortunes. It gives you random
| jokes/quotes/foresights everytime you open a Terminal windows/tab.

| Use Terminator: Terminator is a nice way to free your valuable screen space
| from multiple terminal windows. Instead of using one terminal window for each
| task, divide an existing window horizontally or vertically each time you need
| a new terminal window. So if you find yourself using 8 terminal windows, you
| can use Terminator and pack your terminals into 2 windows.

Be super-productive with Linux

| It might sound a bit weird but the kind of Operating System you’re probably
| using may affect your productivity at work! Though, a user is a more
| responsible entity when it comes to productivity, but somewhere
| down-the-line, we can hold your operating system responsible for the same.

Why Open Source contributes to productivity
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source software has become quite popular lately and I think it’s awesome
| that free software like Amarok, Open Office, GIMP and so on, are becoming so
| good that they not only rival their paid counterparts, but surpass them in
| many ways.

Kubuntu days...productive days
,----[ Quote ]
| So, what is the point? It is that, for non technical users, as I am, Kubuntu
| have reached a point where I'm able to do with linux everything I used to be
| able to do in windows, install it, make partitions, configure a network,
| install apps, share printers and directories, configure wifi devices, create
| users, etc. very easily. In fact, I can do more things now that I could in
| windows.
|
| We can improve a lot though, but it has been a confirmation of what I already
| knew (we all know). With linux I'm more productive, even in tedious actions
| like the ones I've done these days.

Switching from KDE to WinXP #2
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion
|
| I have looked at several features that KDE?s Konqueror has but that
| WinXP's Explorer doesn't have. I have also mentioned a few of the
| things I don't like about Explorer and often why I think Konqueror's way of
| doing it is better. You may have noticed that there is nothing positive
| about Explorer. That is true and it is not for lack of trying. The fact is,
| for me, the way I work, there is just nothing special about Explorer. I
| didn't find any feature that struck me as being especially cool or useful
| that Konqueror didn?t also have.
|
| Switching from KDE to WindowsXP at work has seriously impaired my
| productivity.
