Donât like an Ubuntu application? Swap It out with one of these alternatives
,----[ Quote ]
| The default selection of applications in
| Ubuntu are great for most people but it
| would be foolish to think that one size fits
| all. To make it easier for you BLAH showing
| the most popular alternative to a default
| applicationâ. install-on!

Krank, for when Ubuntuâs novelty wears off
,----[ Quote ]
| Most of the Internet is probably absorbed
| with Ubuntu 10.04 right now, and thatâs a
| good thing. When you get tired of messing
| with the location of the buttons, you can
| check out Krank, which is a rather unusual
| game.
|
| [...]
|
| Krank is in the repos for Karmic and Lucid,
| and in AUR for Arch. When the luster of
| 10.04 begins to wear off, give it a spin.

GNOME-integrated, IAX-compatible VoIP client for Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Their setup requires that I can connect to
| their PHP/MySQL/SVN setup through SSH. No
| problem with Ubuntu. But I am also required
| to have an IAX-compatible VoIP client so my
| boss and other programmers can call me. You
| see, most VoIP clients are only SIP-
| compatible. IAX and SIP are just two
| different protocols for running Voice over
| IP.

That split-second realization
,----[ Quote ]
| It happened to me again yesterday. That
| moment everyone talks about, when a GUI
| program is suddenly inconvenient and
| obtrusive, and you realize that the console
| alternative is just plain faster and easier
| than clicking buttons and waiting for an
| interface to accomplish the same task.

Linux screenshots made easy: Shutter & Screenie
,----[ Quote ]
| Do you own a Mac? I use both MacOS and Linux
| everyday, and found myself with a problem.
| Before I found Shutter taking screenshots in
| Linux felt like a PITA. In MacOS you can
| take region screenshots by pressing Cmd-
| Shift-4. And I missed this feature in Linux,
| until I cared enough to look for a solution.
|
| Shutter was the answer, an open source
| screenshot grabber that fills my needs, and
| probably yours too. Installing is relatively
| simple, if you have an updated version of
| Ubuntu. If not, you'll have to manually add
| the launchpad repositories. All instructions
| are on Shutter's homepage.

Hulu Desktop for Linux Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Hulu is one of the most popular video sites
| on the web. You can watch all kinds of
| different television shows and movies right
| in your browser. But there's also another
| way to watch Hulu and that's to download the
| Hulu Desktop application for Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| The Hulu Desktop for Linux interface is
| really geared toward using a remote control
| for navigation (obviously that's the main
| reason they created this application in the
| first place). If you've ever used Apple TV
| or Boxee, you'll know what I mean. You can
| certainly use a mouse or a trackball but it
| feels weird as you have to move up or down
| through the interface to choose a category,
| subcategory and then the program or movie
| you want to watch.
