xfce4 version 4.10 preview before final release.

Posted 04-21-2012 at 09:09 PM by stretchedthin

I built xfce4 version 4.10pre2 from the source provided on the site and thought I'd do my bit to help the upcoming release and give give it some much deserved promotion . Disclaimer, Xfce4 is my desktop environment of choice, as most of you know. I don't like giving up performance for the sake of bells and whistles but thanks to Xfce4 I can have both.

Before you learn any commands in Linux, get to know how you can make the most of the history functions in Bash. This will save you and your fingers a lot of wear and tear. Learning this and making sure your working in a terminal emulator that has good copy past functionality and your going to find the command line a pretty comfortable place.

Mount Iphone/Ipod touch in Linux
This tutorial is thanks to a request from a subscriber on the Youtube channel. The tutorial addresses the steps necessary to get the newer Apple iPod Touch and iPhone devices to mount so they can be accessed by your Linux box. Even if your Linux distribution can do this out of the box, you may find it helpful to know what is at work, so you can address the situation if something goes wrong.

Tiling window management the easy way.

Posted 04-14-2012 at 07:07 PM by stretchedthin

Been a couple days but here's a new one. As a bonus you get to see what I look like. (Well maybe bonus is the wrong word.)
The floating desktop metaphor has dominated the modern desktop. It has it's strengths, but it's weakness make it more time consuming to resize, and work in multiple windows. Tiling window management addresses these issues.
