Download Them!

Downloading (anything) from internet is one of our daily tasks in these modern life. Theres some techniques for downloading. We can use our internet browser`s downloader (e.g Firefox and Opera), or we can use another third party tools for download. We known that as the download manager, and the main function of download manager is to speed up the download process and manage it. In Windows platform, we known some download manager softwares like Internet Download Manager (IDM) and Download Accelerator Plus (DAP).


How about download manager in Linux? Dont worry, Linux also had some powerful download managers. One of them is called wget. Its a shell-based downloader. Although wget was a shell-based downloder, wget came with many wonderful usefulness. One of it is recursive download. Using recursive download, we can completely download one or more directories that contain packages we need.


How about graphical downloader? One of graphical downloader on Linux is called D4X. D4X is a great graphical download manager on Linux with very similar interface as IDM or DAP. For download, we just enter our download address on the add address toolbox. For saving, we just enter our local directory e.g /home or /home/download. We also can save our download packages on /root directories if we start D4X with root access.

In Gnome desktop, use run (alt+F2) and type :

gksu d4x

or

In terminal, login as root or using sudo :

# d4x

$ sudo d4x

Finally, I just want suggest anyone in whole world to try it and use Linux !

Happy Tux-ing ! ^_^

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance.

Download, Install and Play Angry Birds Rio In Ubuntu/Debian Linux

Angry Birds Rio is a spin-off of the new-legendary game Angry Birds. This plot is specially taken from popular animation film Rio, an adventure of a pet Blue macaw bird from US in Brazilian jungle. Based on that successful film, there are some game developers created a spin-off for Angry Birds game called Angry Birds Rio. The good news about this is, there is already a flash version of this game so we could play it in Linux desktop easily using flashplayer (standalone player, or by Internet Browser with flashplayer plugin). And just like what I've done before in Angry Animals game, I've packed this game too into Debian package so we could install it with ease. If you have had installed flashplayer standalone, you don't have to download and install it. But, if you haven't it yet, you have to download the flashplayer standalone to play this game. These are the packages : adobe-flashplayer-standalone-linux_10_i386_debian.deb angrybirds-rio_0.1_i386_debian.deb This is a fre...
