GOCR
GOCR is an OCR (optical character recognition) tool. It converts scanned images
of text into text files. Find more information at
.net/.
gzip, tar, bzip2
There are plenty of packaging programs for reducing disk usage. In general, they
differ only in their pack algorithm. Linux can also handle the packaging formats
used on Windows. bzip2 is a bit more efficient than gzip, but needs more time,
depending on the pack algorithm. Find more information about gzip and tar in
our shell chapter.
kate
Kate is part of the KDE suite. It has the ability to open several files at once either
locally or remotely. With syntax highlighting, project file creation, and external
scripts execution, it is a perfect tool for a programmer. Find more information at
http://kate.kde.org/.
KDar
Kerr stands for KDE disk archiver and is a hardware-independent backup solution.
KDar uses catalogs (unlike tar), so it is possible to extract a single file without
reading the whole archive and it is also possible to create incremental backups.
KDar can split an archive into multiple slices and trigger the burning of a data CD
or DVD for each slice. Find more information about KDar at
.sourceforge.net/.
Konqueror
Konqueror is the default file manager for the KDE desktop, which can also be used
as a Web browser, document and image viewer, and CD ripper. For an introduction
to using Konqueror as a file manager, see our chapters about the KDE desktop in
KDE User Guide. Find more information about this multifunctional application at
http://www.konqueror.org/.
KPDF
KPDF is a PDF viewing application for the KDE desktop. Its features include
searching the PDF and full screen reading mode like in Adobe Reader. Find more
information at http://kpdf.kde.org/.
