Hackers resurrect NCSA Mosaic

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux users capable of compiling programs 
| from source are free to download the package 
| and learn just what the early days of the 
| web looked like circa 1993.
| 
| According to Webmonkey, the package runs 
| surprisingly well on modern Linux systems, 
| and the few niggles that exist - such as 
| poor support for PNG format graphics - are 
| busily being patched out by GitHub community 
| members.

Everybody loves donkeys

,----[ Quote ]
| I'm glad I did, as Dan Ellis gave a storming 
| demonstration of the OpenShot video editor. 
| This is exactly what I've been looking for: 
| a simple iMoviesque interface without the 
| learning-curve+complexity of an editor like 
| Cinelerra.
| 
| The demo was excellent, showing all the key 
| features of OpenShot (polished interface, 
| easily applied effects & transitions, SVG 
| titles which can be edited in Inkscape 
| etc.). For the record OpenShot is written 
| using Python on top of the MLT framework. 
| There was even footage of a donkey, and as 
| we all know, everybody loves donkeys.

Atol Delivers Flawless File Management With No Frills

,----[ Quote ]
| Some system utilities do a variety of things 
| well. They come with tools to give users 
| lots of solutions in one package. Other 
| system apps like the Atol File Manager 
| perform a dedicated function flawlessly 
| without adding other specialties. Atol took 
| a while to grow on me, but now this app is 
| one of my most-used Linux tools.

,----[ Quote ]
| Darktable is a new RAW converter, photo 
| editor and image manager for Linux and

| some really cool features. most of them I 
| only have partially explored, but what I saw 
| was promising.
