The KOffice 2.0 beta, part 2: Graphical and charting programs

10/11/2008  
Relevance: 8.78
Yesterday, I looked at the major applications in the first beta for KOffice 2.0. Now it's the turn of the rest of the beta: The KPlato project manager, KChart, the vector graphics editor Karbon, and the raster graphics editor Krita. These four graphical and charting programs have always been among the best-regarded of the KOffice programs. All of them have matured much faster than the traditional office applications KWord, KSpread, and KPresenter. In the case of KPlato and KChart, they have done so because they were limited applications with relatively few features. By contrast, the graphics editors Karbon and Krita have done so by attracting users who were not interested in office applications so much as design.

CMMI is not a secret code

In the Linux world new users are often scared away by horror stories of having to compile their own programs. With todays distributions where there are, in the case of *buntu, over 20,000 pre-compiled programs to choose from and the need to compile your own programs is very rare. In fact about the only time you will compile your own programs is if you wish to use a different version than what the distributions repository supplies. Many people, when faced with a situation requiring a program compile, will shy away from this mystical seeming process. But it's pretty easy.

Dreamy Dreamlinux

Dreamlinux is a Debian-based distribution that offers you a choice of GNOME or Xfce window managers as well as an extremely simple installation and scripts to install popular programs not found in the Debian repositories. With included programs for communication, graphics, and music, plus OpenOffice.org, it covers most general desktop needs, and installation and configuration are a breeze. Besides a few minor bugs that didn't cause any problems, my experience with Dreamlinux was entirely positive.

8 Paint Programs for Linux

Relevance: 7.08
So you just finished installing the latest version of Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution) on your main machine, and you need to do some simple graphics work. Maybe you need to crop some photos or take out some sensitive information in a screen capture. Maybe you want to create a simple logo for your website or create a freehand drawing. If you open up the Applications menu and click on Graphics you won't find much. In fact, you won't find a tool that would let you do all of the tasks just mentioned.

Let’s examine each design field in turn. We’ll start by describing the leading program or programs in each, followed by the smaller or younger projects, and end with the special-purpose tools.

Most computer users need Linux

04/13/2010  
Relevance: 6.74
One thing I have noticed on just about all windows installed computers outside of my strict control is that they are full of viruses, spyware and there are more programs installed than they know what to do with. These programs are also not updated with the latest service patches and virus lists. Most of the time the programs are junkware that are installed automatically with other programs and automatically start up when they log in. Consequently their machines are a mess and run slower than I can swim through frozen molasses. It is easy to see why virus and malware writers love windows machines.

Imagemagick - Edit image from command line

Relevance: 6.69
Usually when we talk about programs for editing images we think to graphic programs such as The Gimp or photoshop, but they are not the only alternative. ImageMagick is a suite of programs that you can use from command line to change and transform images, may seem more uncomfortable but it is actually a very powerful option to process many images in a short time or include image processing programs in web or bash scripts.

Relevance: 6.64
An operating systems most basic function is to act as a layer between the computer hardware and the user space programs. User space meaning the programs you use as a computer user, ie. office, email, internet and games programs. What an operating system provides to those user space programs is a standard interface to the computers hardware, no matter what type of hardware that is.

Parallels today said it is shipping the final version of its virtualization software, Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac, for Intel-powered Apple Macs. The software aims to enable users to install and run Linux or Windows alongside Mac OS X on their Mac desktops without rebooting. Version 3.0 incorporates new support for 3D graphics -- namely, the OpenGL and DirectX graphics libraries, a Parallels spokesperson said. This allows Windows 3D games and CAD programs, for example, to be used on on Intel-powered Macs.
