6 of the Best Free Linux Music Servers

,----[ Quote ]
| A home computer makes an ideal appliance 
| to store and stream music. The purpose of 
| a music server is to deliver tracks when 
| requested by a client. The server can 
| deliver music to machines over a local 
| area network as well as computers 
| connected over the internet.

Gedit: Don't Get Tricked by Its Simple Looks

,----[ Quote ]
| Every Linux user that has used the GNOME 
| desktop environment must have had at least 
| an encounter with its default text editor, 
| Gedit. You start it up, and it looks like 
| a simple notepad type application with a 
| toolbar added on top. However, don't let 
| yourself fooled by that simple appearance. 
| If you know how to customize this 
| application, it can be modified to serve 
| almost any text exiting purpose, and you 
| can even create an IDE-like environment.

MythTV: Turning Linux Into a Digital Video Recorder: The Front End

,----[ Quote ]
| After reading the first part of this 
| series, you should have a MythTV server up 
| and running. To watch TV or schedule 
| recordings you'll need to setup one or 
| more MythTV front ends. Since the front 
| end has to decode, deinterlace, and 
| display the video content, it normally has 
| to perform more work than the MythTV back 
| end. Luckily, I have a recent NVidia 
| graphics card which is capable of 
| performing much of the video processing 
| grunt work for me.

Plugins Bring Vanilla Gedit a Spicy Kick

,----[ Quote ]
| The two computers I use most run Linux -- the laptop runs Ubuntu, while the
| desktop is a "distribution nomad" that changes frequently. One great thing
| about Linux is that the platform has no shortage of capable text editors.
| Some lend themselves more to writing code and heavy-duty programming than
| others (such as Vim and Emacs) while others straddle the plain text
| document/programming editor line.
|
| Lately, primarily because I've been slow to install my usual cross-over text
| editor of choice, Geany, I took a closer look at the plugins available for
| GNOME's "came with the desktop" editor, Gedit. The default plugins (and those
| found in the "extra" packages) make the plain vanilla editor far more
| appealing and useful for hardcore writers and casual programmers alike.
