Add Screenlets to make your Linux desktop more useful

,----[ Quote ]
| If you spend as much time on the Linux desktop as I do, having small applets 
| available for specific tasks can make your life that much easier. If you use 
| the KDE 4.x desktop you will be familiar with Widgets. These are very handy, 
| but are only available to KDE. For the GNOME users there is an application 
| called Screenlets that serves the same function as the KDE widgets. 
| Screenlets are written in Python, so if you know the language most likely you 
| can create your very own desktop tools.

What is happening for KOffice2.1

,----[ Quote ]
| Its been some months since we released KOffice2.0.0, the first official 
| release for the new platform KOffice2. 
| For common and certainly for advanced office users we made clear that 2.0 is 
| missing features for them. What then, you may ask, is 2.1 going to change for 
| them?  
| Well, here is what we are working on and what has been integrated into what 
| will become the 2.1 release in a month or two.

FreeMind Review

,----[ Quote ]
| FreeMind is a great free software program. It is identified as âmind mappingâ 
| software, for brainstorming or whatnot, but is also a general 
| productivity/organizational tool. Itâs early days for me, but I think it may 
| help me organize my notes and projects more effectively. Itâs basically just 
| arranging things in a tree structure, but the visual/spatial layout seems to 
| help me.

KOffice - A powerful office suite

,----[ Quote ]
| If you're running your favorite Linux distro with a KDE desktop and
| occasionally use an office suite to create documents, you may want to take a
| look at KOffice.

KOffice 2.0

,----[ Quote ]
| More than a year after KDE 4.0 unveiled a radically revised desktop, KOffice
| 2.0 is preparing to release an equally revised office suite, which should be
| released before this article is published (KOffice 2.0-RC-1 was released in
| April 2009).

Reviewed: KOffice 2.0

,----[ Quote ]
| We grabbed the Kubuntu version of the software from official sources and
| installed it on a fairly standard Dell laptop. We experienced quite a few
| problems trying to run it under Gnome, but switching to KDE (as you'd expect)
| made things a lot more stable. KOffice's launch speed is comparable with that
| of OpenOffice.org 3.1, and its rendering is beautifully smooth, even when
| shifting around large blended objects.
