Terminal Tip: ASCII-ify your Videos - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) I'm kind of on an ASCII kick this weekend. Having already brought you ASCII banners, I thought I'd follow that up with ASCII video playback. Apple's ASCII Movie Player, which you can download here, allows you to view any QuickTime compatible media from the Terminal. Above, you see last week's episode of Heroes--that's Peter, in case you didn't recognize him from the screen shot.
The ASCII Movie Player disk image contains a compiled Universal Binary application file. This means you don't need any developer tools to compile or run this utility. With ASCII Movie Player, you can play any media that works with QuickTime. As a rule of thumb, display looks best with white-on-black rather than Terminal's default black-on-white. Update: colorized version can be found here. Update 2: Both Mplayer and VLC provide ASCII art output using the -libcaca module.

From DSL Wiki This site in other languages: Deutsch, Español Installing MyDSL Extensions There are various ways in which to install a myDSL extension, but basically you have two main options: Install from an online myDSL repository.

Steps: Make sure you are logged in as user dsl Open the MyDSL Extension Browser Select the category[1] you want to browse Select the package you want. The extension will be automatically downloaded to the directory specified in .mydsl_dir (default is /tmp), checked for corruption, and then installed. Note: You must ensure that the group permissions for /tmp be set to staff as some builds may default to root. If you want to install extensions manually, use the DSL Extensions repository. Installing A Local Extension After downloading, You can use the Extension Browser mentioned above to load the extension. See Also: Search. A rootkit is a stealthy type of software, typically malicious, designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection and enable continued privileged access to a computer.[1] The term rootkit is a concatenation of "root" (the traditional name of the privileged account on Unix operating systems) and the word "kit" (which refers to the software components that implement the tool).
The term "rootkit" has negative connotations through its association with malware.[1] History[edit] The first malicious rootkit for the Windows NT operating system appeared in 1999: a trojan called NTRootkit created by Greg Hoglund.[8] It was followed by HackerDefender in 2003.[1] The first rootkit targeting Mac OS X appeared in 2009,[9] while the Stuxnet worm was the first to target programmable logic controllers (PLC).[10] Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal[edit] To cloak itself, the rootkit hid from the user any file starting with "$sys$".

KDE apps work on Gnome too, but they aren't quite integrated visually (KDE is more aero/aqua, while gnome is rather opaque). I have tried Katapult in the past, but it doesn't come up to par with Launchy, so I find myself using the common launch dialog a lot (Alt-F2 on a standard systems) or just a plain terminal.
Tilda has quite a good concept, but I haven't got it working yet. Regarding must-have applications: well, I find myself using a lot of the Beryl functions; but setting up Beryl can be a pain in the ass to install (as is the case for binary drivers for ATi/nVidia, which is required before installing beryl). For audio, I use Quod Libet, which is just a bit buggy but has some features that made me a Foobar2000 user on Windows.
This is a piece of GTK software (so integrates well into Gnome). Some more alternative applications which extend your functionality a lot: Beagle, Deskbar and Gimmie. Hacking.

Mount an Ext2 or Ext3 partition in Windows. There are different ways of sharing files between GNU/Linux and Windows.
Mostly we make use of the services of a FAT32 (or FAT16) partition which can be read and written to by both Linux and Windows. The disadvantage of using a FAT partition for sharing files between Windows and GNU/Linux is that you are forced to reserve a part of disk space solely for sharing files. But this is just one of the number of file sharing methods available for people who wish to dual boot between the two OSes. Another method which comes to my mind is to use the new stable release of ntfs-3g module which allows you to mount an NTFS partition as read-write in GNU/Linux. But the method which has caught my fancy the most is a project which allows me to mount a ext2/ext3 GNU/Linux partition in Windows and assign it a drive letter similar to C:, D: and so on. The project in question is the Ext2fs installable file system. This project is the brain child of Stephan Schreiber. Fig: Installing the Ext2 IFS driver.
