Useful Apps on CSE Comp? (1 Viewer)

[gman03]

Hi guys, after 3 years of using the computer in CSE labs I still havn't manage to explore all the features in them... so I am asking you folks what features in CSE Computers you use the most / find it useful? I am expecting some command features as well as KDR/Gnome apps

ONes I know are only the basics, including:
* ls
* find
* cat / less / more
* uname
* xclock
* kwrite/kate/xemacs/vim

I have once found a script on the net which allows me to rotate pdfs on the lab computer (will find the name of the script later)

I would also like to know how to add gadgets type of things under Fluxbox, my windows manager.

You're welcome to just list the names of the app without explaination on how to use it (but if it is not on CSE then please give some brief installation steps!!!). If you're an expert on that app... enlight me with your experience! Show me any shortcuts associated with them.

Thanks.

cwd = current working directory
grep = regex string matching
sort = sort standard output
chmod = set permissions on files!
latex = latex converter!
dvipdf = convert dvi files to pdf
convert = convert image files from one format to another and do fancy stuff if you want
quota = should tell you the quota on your home directory
more = show the contents of a file
less = same as more, just better.

cwd? I think you mean pwd (print working directory).

Probably most useful program for me would be vi.

Depends what system you're working on.

cwd = current working directory.

Pretty sure the CSE labs don't have cwd. quota doesn't work either, root owns quota.user. Use rquota instead.
