Time Saving Linux Desktop Tips?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-more-comfortable-GUI-experience dept.

dan_polt asks: "I currently use a Linux desktop system, at work. One of the great things about the Linux desktop is that there are lots of ways to save a lot of time from useful widgets and configuration to minimize the pain of repetitive tasks. Most of my work involves web/e-Mail/SSH access, and I have a very high spec'd machine with dual-head 1600x1200 screens. What software or configuration tips might Slashdot have for me to: make better use of my time; make the most of my screen real estate; and make my use of the desktop more effective?"

    I've always left ads on Slashdot because I 'support' the culture, but this is the final straw.

    Culture? Hahaha, you make me laugh. Hahahaha! It's almost as funny as the tards that were bitching that /. was not balanced with their coverage of Windows about 5 years ago. Or how about the ones before that, they felt betrayed because Taco "sold out" to Andover. Hahahaha!
