[News] GNU/Linux Desktops Leap Towards Semantics, Productivity High

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Nepomuk and KDE to introduce the semantic desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| If you follow technology trends, you have probably heard of the semantic 
| desktop -- a data layer for annotating and sharing the information in your 
| computer. But what you may not be aware of is that the semantic desktop is 
| not a distant goal, but scheduled to arrive at the end of 2008. And, when it 
| does, the idea will probably be implemented through the work done by the 
| Nepomuk project, and, most likely, by KDE first.

Be a Productive Linux User

,----[ Quote ]
| Use Terminator: Terminator is a nice way to free your valuable screen space 
| from multiple terminal windows. Instead of using one terminal window for each 
| task, divide an existing window horizontally or vertically each time you need 
| a new terminal window. So if you find yourself using 8 terminal windows, you 
| can use Terminator and pack your terminals into 2 windows.

Be super-productive with Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| It might sound a bit weird but the kind of Operating System you’re probably
| using may affect your productivity at work! Though, a user is a more
| responsible entity when it comes to productivity, but somewhere
| down-the-line, we can hold your operating system responsible for the same.

Why Open Source contributes to productivity

,----[ Quote ]
| Open source software has become quite popular lately and I think it’s awesome
| that free software like Amarok, Open Office, GIMP and so on, are becoming so
| good that they not only rival their paid counterparts, but surpass them in
| many ways.

Kubuntu days...productive days

,----[ Quote ]
| So, what is the point? It is that, for non technical users, as I am, Kubuntu
| have reached a point where I'm able to do with linux everything I used to be
| able to do in windows, install it, make partitions, configure a network,
| install apps, share printers and directories, configure wifi devices, create
| users, etc. very easily. In fact, I can do more things now that I could in
| windows.    
|
| We can improve a lot though, but it has been a confirmation of what I already
| knew (we all know). With linux I'm more productive, even in tedious actions
| like the ones I've done these days.

Matthias Ettrich: The KDE-Man!

,----[ Quote ]
| Nobody in their right mind would choose Windows over GNU/Linux based on the

Switching from KDE to WinXP #2

,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion
|
| I have looked at several features that KDE?s Konqueror has but that
| WinXP's Explorer doesn't have. I have also mentioned a few of the
| things I don't like about Explorer and often why I think Konqueror's way of
| doing it is better. You may have noticed that there is nothing positive
| about Explorer. That is true and it is not for lack of trying. The fact is,
| for me, the way I work, there is just nothing special about Explorer. I
| didn't find any feature that struck me as being especially cool or useful
| that Konqueror didn?t also have.
|
| Switching from KDE to WindowsXP at work has seriously impaired my
| productivity.
