My first post from the linux cli

[gletob]

Well messing around I've installed links (not lynx) cli web browser and am posting from it. Does my post look different?

Yes, it looks more 1337 :-)

Now, you have to use the following apps:


irssi (for IRC)
finch (for IM)
mc (for file management)
vim (for editing)
mplayer (for multimedia)


See my blog for my iBook (use a graphical browser, there are images)

+ rtorrent for torrents
+ moc or mpd/ncmpc for music
+ gnu screen -- the indispensable companion for the terminal
+ latex/vim for wordprocessing

Incidentally, web browsing is about the only thing I prefer not using cli for ;)

Yes, I use Opera as my most (and almost only) graphical app.

Can't you just use links2 -g?

Not on my CLI only setup, and if I am going to use a browser on my desktop, I use Opera (I use a lot of its features)

Now do it from a shell script.

I don't even know that would work haha.

[loell]

so lynx is CLI? ;)

yeah, we all know its not. :p

[gletob]

This is one of the reasons I use ubuntu I start a simple thread about my small accomplishment and it turns into a thread with lots of info thanks for these great programs espically the torrent one.

I'd rather use mocp for music! :)

[TeraDyne]

Or even better, mpd + mpc\ncmpc.

Or even better, mpd + mpc\ncmpc.

I generally prefer an mpd solution as well, but on my laptop I sometimes connect an external hd with 80gb of mp3s and having to redo the mpd database every time I want to use it is a pita as it takes about 5 minutes -> in such situations mocp is much better.
