The month in review
It’s not exactly the end of the month yet but here’s a recap of some of the posts that I think are more or less.
I gave you a quick rundown of two bit torrent clients: Transmission and Deluge.
I also shared with you my experience with Dropbox.
I also wrote about tips on choosing your Linux distro but someone pointed out that it’s not that newbie friendly. Maybe you could add to the list so that it will become more like it. Aside from that, I also gave you my Linux notes.
You shared your machines’ hostnames with me this month! Thanks for that. I think that I’d probably get more creative the next time I name a machine.
You could also connect files together using cat.
You could create a recipe notebook using Tomboy!
I showed you LXDE and my first impression of it too.
I hope that you have all learned a thing […]

Deluge for torrent downloads

Already tried using Deluge last night. I was curious as to how it was because there were people like Benjamin and Karin who said she was liking Deluge. I’ve only used the one in the Ubuntu repositories not the latest one so I am not quite sure how different it is.
In any case, I think that Deluge is more appropriate for users who are looking for a counterpart of uTorrent. The layout looks closer to the look and feel of uTorrent, for one thing.
The screenshot above is the default screen when you view your list of torrents. You’d see the state of completion on the bar below the list of torrents.
Here are a couple of more screenshots:

Interesting things this week
I heard about Deluge from the other people who have commented on this blog. If not for them I wouldn’t be able to find something that my sister will probably love to use on Linux. I’ve said Transmission is a nifty app. I still stand by it. But it doesn’t mean I couldn’t call Deluge a good app right?
There’s this blog entry talking about “even when Linux fans win, they lose.” There’s something about the attitude towards Linux users and which distros they are using. It mentions something about how *nix fans complain about Ubuntu even if it is seriously a distro worthy on its own.
Another article, on the other hand, points out there is a group of people who would rather read (and imply to be putting pressure) about the good things about Linux. But, as the author of the article says […]
