10 old-school Linux tools I refuse to let go of
,----[ Quote ]
| 1: Command line
|
| This one is a no brainer. Even though there
| is a GUI front end for nearly every
| command-line tool available, I often feel
| the command line is simply the best tool.
| And what better way to remotely administer
| a system than with good old secure shell? I
| wonât go into the specifics of what
| commands I canât let go of (there are so
| many of them). Suffice it to say, the
| command line is one of my most-used tools.

Screenlets: Eye Candy for Linux Users
,----[ Quote ]
| A Linux desktop screen need not look drab.
| Whereas proprietary OSes like OS X and
| Windows have their widgets, Linux distro
| users can get just as much function-rich
| eye candy through Screenlets. Screenlets
| are miniature applications that reside on
| the desktop and provide constant
| information -- everything from system
| performance readouts to news feeds to photo
| galleries.
|
| [...]
|
| If your system runs the Compiz video
| enhancement feature, you will have extra-
| special eye candy. These additional options
| make using Screenlets even better. For
| instance, you can toggle Screenlets on and
| off. To do this, though, you need the
| latest widget plug-in for Compiz-Fusion
| installed.

Personal Finances on Linux with KMyMoney
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux has several excellent personal
| finance applications. Today we're going to
| look at KMyMoney. Though specifically
| developed with the KDE desktop in mind,
| KMyMoney works with any Linux desktop.
|
| How useful KMyMoney will be to you and how
| easy it will be to use depends on two
| factors: One, whether or not your bank uses
| a supported online banking protocol, like
| OFX or HBCI, which applies when using any
| type of money management program. Two, if
| you can get a set of plugins working, which
| includes check printing support.

Marble is a polished jewel
,----[ Quote ]
| Marble is a spectacular piece of software. It is beautiful, thorough,
| detailed, well laid out, fast, robust, and responsive. And you can enjoy it
| without any needs for a powerful graphics card. It runs well on modest
| hardware, which only makes it even more wondrous.
|
| For people who like geography, Marble is a great bonus. It also seems like an
| excellent tool for teaching people (and kids) the wonders of our Planet in a
| fun and exciting way. I wish I had something like this when I was growing up!
|
| Marble is simply great. You have to try it!
