Linux app of the day: Konqueror

This program is pretty friggin' cool.  It surfs the web, reads your local hard drive, visits ftp sites, plays your music, and can manipulate your images.  "But doesn't MS Internet Explorer/Windows Explorer do most of those things too?"  Yes, but Konqueror does it quickly, easily, and gracefully.   And it comes built in with KDE.

And if you want to edit a file on an ftp server, it handles it just like a local file.  Hit the "save" button in your favorite editor, and it automatically uploads to the server.  I can't tell you how cool that is when you're editing php and css files.

In order to convert images, you may need to install the following plugin: Picwiz - Image Resizer.  The good news: it's available via apt-get/adept/synaptic.

Why am I futzing with all this stuff?  Because I'm working on getting Matt & Sarah's gallery online.  Stay tuned; I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the week.
