The open source radio software for scheduling, automation and remote station management.
Airtime is the open radio software for scheduling and remote station management. Remote access to the station’s media management, multi-file upload and automatic metadata verification is coupled with a collaborative online scheduling calendar and playlist management. The scheduling calendar is managed through an easy-to-use web-interface and triggers audio playout with sub-second precision for fading.
I LOVE Vim. I even use gVim at work sometimes. When I hear Vim v.s. Emacs debates, I wonder “What debate? Vim wins hands down.”
Vim hit 20 years old a little while ago. Happy birthday Vim.
If you’re curious, Vi began in 1976 and Vim followed 15 years later in 1991.
Here is a free Vim ebook to get you started.
Wow, am I behind with the news. A couple years back I was on a lightweight distribution kick. I installed a number of distro’s and ended up stuck between Xubuntu and Crunchbang.
Xubuntu uses XFCE desktop environment.
Back then, Crunchbang was based on Ubuntu and used the Open Box Window Manager. What I found was that even though Crunchbang claimed lightweight, it was still running nearly all the same processes as Ubuntu. It quickly lost its status as a lightweight contender in my mind and I stopped using it. But Crunchbang has been been based on Debian for like 2 years now, so I guess it’s back on the list for me.
If you’re interested, TechRepublic has a fairly recent write-up of Xubuntu suggested opportunities.
Some news about Linux Mint, a distribution based off Ubuntu, will be using a special flavour of Gnome 3. Of particular note in this article is the link to the Linux Mint blog that lists shortcomings of Gnome 3.
The three shortcomings include:
What I find most interesting about this move is that on both sides of the coin, the arguments are subjective to users preferences. But that is the benefit of linux – it’s all about freedom of choice. If you feel strongly about these “fixes” to Gnome 3, then use Mint. If you like how Ubuntu approaches it, then use Ubuntu. In any event, it’s better than using Windows
