Linux and Microsoft Windows Future

Posted Tue, 02/10/2009 - 09:39 by lsatenstein

I work with both Linux and Windows XP. The latter software, in a Microsoft software based organization.

The converse is true in the Microsoft camps, because of the argument "How can you make money with free software?" In the minds of these Linux forum subscribers, Microsoft is the enemy.

Adding a Quake-style console utility to Ubuntu

If your like me you probably dont like waiting for the terminal window to load and you would rather have fast access to the shell.

Remember the Quake console ? Hmm or maybe your still playing ? Pressing “~” would drop down a console where you could enter Quake commands.

Starting gDesklets automatically in Ubuntu

Posted Tue, 02/03/2009 - 23:56 by Denny

gDesklets are great but starting them manually everytime you logon is no fun. So it is very easy to start them automatically and quietly, quietly meaning that there is no useless icon taking up space on your main panel.
