Nautilus
Nautilus is the default file manager of the GNOME desktop. It can be used to create
folders and documents, display and manage your files and folders, run scripts, write
data to a CD, and open URI locations. For an introduction to using Nautilus as a
file manager, see GNOME User Guide. Find information about Nautilus on the
Internet at http://www.gnome.org/projects/nautilus/.
taper
Taper is a backup and restore program that provides a friendly user interface to allow
backup and restoration of files to and from a tape drive. Alternatively, files can be
backed up to archive files. Recursively selected directories are supported. Find
more information at http://taper.sourceforge.net/.
vim
vim (vi improved) is a program similar to the text editor vi. Users may need time
to adjust to vim, because it distinguishes between command mode and insert mode.
The basic features are the same as in all text editors. vim offers some unique options,
like macro recording, file format detection and conversion, and multiple buffers in
a screen. Find more information at http://www.vim.org/.
(X)Emacs
GNU Emacs and XEmacs are very professional editors. XEmacs is based on GNU
Emacs. To quote the GNU Emacs Manual, "Emacs is the extensible, customizable,
self-documenting real-time display editor." Both offer nearly the same functional-
ity with minor differences. Used by experienced developers, they are highly exten-
sible through the Emacs Lisp language. They support many languages, like Russian,
Greek, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Find more information at
.xemacs.org/
.html.
Xpdf
Xpdf is lean PDF viewing suite for Linux and Unix platforms. It includes a viewer
application and some export plug-ins for PostScript or text formats. Find more in-
formation at http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/.
