hello
I remember using “Wififofum” on PocketPC. This is a super cool little app that allows you to not only detect networks and their signal strenghts, but also has a graphical wifi “radar” that really works as… a wifi radar!… showing you the distance and approximate location of the source of any signal on a circular radius for a few hundred metres, as well as giving detailed info on each network (WEP encryption, SSID, etc). Using this on a PocketPC in a urban area makes you feel like an über-geek! Anyways, it might be possible to obtain the source code for that app and develop something that’s debian-friendly with it.thnks

Hi thanks for the tip, and I have to try out David’s tip regarding Nostalgy as well.

I’ve been gathering some ideas for a project named, you guessed it, Roadwarrior and that printer feature is a nice addition. If you have anymore ideas let me know. I’ve setup a wiki page for it, you can check it here: http://yimports.com/~cpinto/projects/gnome/roadwarrior

You are here. But there are two problems here, one is the user perspective that you point, but another is developer perspective. Developers for Linux needs to know:
gentoo packages, debian, rpms, autopackage (all completely different)
so he has to do 4 times the work if there were only one, but it won’t be.
In Windows there is Installshield that makes it easy for him to make a install package.It’s very easy and graphical!. So if Linux want to compete needs a graphic tool for dummies that can do:
-All the install hard work so programmers can focus on programs.
-Generate some STANDARD intermediary project code.
-Gererate different package output automatically via Plugins.

This way programmers only have to work once. Thanks to LSB this is a real possibility.
thanksss

For example, to move a message, type S, then a portion of the folder name. A list appears to narrow down the choice. Either type until the folder you want is at the top, or use the arrow keys to navigate the list, then hit Enter. Works like a charm.

I don’t like Ubuntu’s network-admin. It lacks key features. It should have better Wifi for example. You know, detecting hotspots, making lists of favourite networks and so on.

I know there is a Wifiradar, but such tool should be integrated into system. And hey, before I can download it, I need a working internet connection!
thanss

yes. thinking about it right now, the network-administration-tool in dapper drake is bit odd…also it does a little bit of conflict with my network-manager, having to comment out what the admin-tool just wrote into the /etc/network/interfaces…but network-manager IS a blessing, and i don’t need to say anything about ubuntu.
