Comments: 1 GIMP is great and I use it all the time, but when it comes to batch image processing on Linux, nothing is more handy and simple to use than XnConvert. Although not an open source software, this batch raster graphics editor comes for free without any limitations for private use, and works in all platforms and architectures. You can get it from the official website as a complementary part of XnView (it's standalone). Here comes a tutorial on how to use this simple yet powerful tool on Linux.

Comments: 2 This post is a response to the overwhelming comments about Meld (and other tools) on my previous article on text files comparison and merging tools. While my intention wasn't to focus on code text only but to also present something useful to word editors and writers as well, but the coders community objected for the “shallowness” of the previous post so here we go with part 2.

Design PCB and Generate Schematic Drawings with Fritzing on Linux

Tags: centos, debian, desktop, fedora, linux, suse, ubuntu •
Comments: 1 Fritzing is a new open source PCB designer that supports Linux systems. Its power stems from its user-friendly interface, drag n drop features, pleasing visuals, and comprehensive views. To me, it looks very much like Autodesk's 123D Circuits and also works very similarly to it too, so this is very positive to say the least.

Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: centos, debian, desktop, fedora, linux, opensuse, ubuntu •
Comments: 0 Almost every modern digital camera offers the ability of “on the fly” panorama creation, but often you will find the result of this automated process not to meet expectations.

How to record from JACK with Ardour on Linux
Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: centos, desktop, fedora, opensuse, ubuntu •
Comments: 0 With all the madness that prevails the Linux audio engines and complex inter-related frameworks and subsystems, it is very easy to get lost and overwhelmed when you want to do something as simple as to record yourself playing an electric musical instrument. Recording from JACK is imperative in that case, as using a “mic to speaker” arrangement will introduce unwanted noise to the recording, no matter what.

How to Migrate Ext2/Ext3 File Systems to Ext4 on Linux
Author: amanda •
Tags: centos, debian, fedora, linux, mandriva, opensuse, suse, ubuntu •
Comments: 2 The Linux file systems Ext2 and Ext3 have now gone outdated. It is the time to convert the old file systems to the latest one, EXT4. The Ext4 filesystem is faster and more reliable than the previous versions. You dont have to reinstall the system; you can simply convert your existing file system to EXT4 by keeping the stored data unaffected.
