8 of the Best Linux Flashcard Software
,----[ Quote ]

| Gmail plugins finally work - just make sure
| you give it some time to authentificate
| after entering your credentials.
| Unfortunately this bug is only partially
| fixed.

Linuxables: Choosing Your Text Editor
,----[ Quote ]
| Text editors on Linux. Few things conjure up
| more images and memories of heated flame
| wars. Sure, you have the classic KDE vs.
| GNOME, and today's Firefox vs. Chrome, but
| those battles pale in comparison to the
| mother of them all: the Emacs vs. vi wars.
| Who won? We all did.

Me TV â Digital television viewer for GNOME
,----[ Quote ]
| Me TV is a digital television viewer for
| GNOME. Me TV was developed for the modern
| digital lounge room with a PC for a media
| centre that is capable of normal PC tasks
| (web surfing, word processing and watching
| TV). It is not designed to be a full-blown
| media centre, such as MythTV, but will
| integrate well with an existing GNOME
| desktop.

| C++, brings a whole new developer API,
| splits rendering into plugins, switches the
| buildsystem from automake to cmake and
| brings minor functionality improvements.
| This release represents the first developer

| that as such, it is not yet ready for
| general use as there are a number of known
| issues, regressions and incomplete
| functionality.

| various other features as an open-source

The Ultimate Organiser for the Console Junkie
,----[ Quote ]
| Calcurse can operate in three modes. The
| first is the non-interactive mode, where you
| have to pass arguments to the program and
| get the output on the terminal. The second
| interactive mode has the interface in
| ncurses and you have to use your keyboard to
| run a menu-driven application. The third is
| the background mode or the daemon mode.
|
| Non-interactive mode: In this mode, you have
| to pass arguments to the application from
| the shell and run it. This mode does not
| start the ncurses-based user interface but
| only dumps the output to STDOUT (in this
| case, the shell). Youâll find a list of all
| valid arguments along with their
| descriptions in the man page.

Squeeze More Battery Life from Your Linux Netbook with Jupiter
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the major selling points of Eee PC
| netbooks is their impressive battery life
| which is achieved by utilizing the Asus
| Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) technology. While
| it's designed to work under Windows, you can
| take advantage of this technology if you're
| running a Linux distro on your Eee PC,
| courtesy of the Jupiter utility. Although
| this tool is designed primarily for Eee PC
| netbooks, it works well on pretty much any
| notebook. So if you want to squeeze as much
| battery life from your machine as you can,
| Jupiter is worth a try.
