Eagle Mode, anyone using it? Comments welcome.


I tried it a couple of years ago and am thinking about trying it again to see if I have the patience to learn more about it.

Anyway, is there anything to look out for? Security issues maybe, since it is not in repo.

TIA

It rocks.
Sort of addictive, even in its limited functionality.
eg: What is does do, it does really well.

I tried it back in March.

Ran it in AntiX a while back. Had to un-install it because I could not walk away from my computer.
It turned my file manager into a game like experience.

Lot's of fun there. But I need to get outside at least once a day.
I try and keep the eye candy down to a minimal on my Window Manager installs.

There is a lot of eye candy functions with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6yPQKt3mBA

Even source forge agrees with me as Eagle Mode is listed under their games section.

Security Issues? I never had it installed long enough to check up on that.

Worse than Drugs! But in good way.
It's mesmerizing and enchanting.

Talk about subliminal messages.
