Dreamlinux Works & XGL 2.0 – From Brazil with lots of love and eye candy

August 24, 2006 in Linux, OSX

Dreamlinux

This review is extremley positive to the new Linux distribution Dreamlinux. Whats so special about Dreamlinux? Mostly the look and feel of the Desktop. Most of todays Linux Distributions try to mimic Windows XP and it’s cousins. Dreamlinux on the contrary gets most of its inspiration from Apple’s OSX. It manages this with the use of the XFCe Desktop.

My personal experience with Dreamlinux is as a rescue system. I managed to boot a PC with an unbootable Windows installation. I then could read the NTFS filesystem and use FTP to transfer important documents to a FTP-server.

iTerm – Terminal software for OSX

June 20, 2006 in Apple, OSX

iTerm
iTerm is an open source terminal program for OSX with extended features over OSX’s own terminal program. What I miss most with OSX own terminal is the posibility to use a tabbed interface. The fact that it’s extremely slow to start ssh sessions doesnt help mutch.
iTerm seems to solve these two problems.
