For clock, tried typing in ‘date’?

Or looking for something more featured/customizable than that?

Oh and ‘mp3blaster’ is awesome for playing audio also.

This page is awesome, Thanks for putting together a list like this. I too often just prefer the CLI for my Linux machine. I have two machines I use, one with Winders for gaming and the Linux does Web Content filtering, etc.. so the CLI works fine for most things. I haven’t been able to find a ‘clock’ yet for the CLI.. maybe it will give me a reason to code something.

why manage all of those programs? just master emacs. mail, web browsing, editing, music player, irc/chat….all within one program with which i can modify with elisp

place emacs inside tmux and you get session persistence too

p.s. no matter what chat client is used, btlbee is the way to go

Thanks for the suggestions.. sounds like a fun adventure!

^ IMHO twin is better and easier to understand than screen. I never understood screen that much TBH.

Dude, did you forget screen?

thank for the information, really usefull
but I have my own choise for non-X application
this is the list
web browser:lynx
download manager:wget
email client:pine
mp3 player :Mpg123

When I tell people I can’t drive a standard transmission car, many people laugh. The funny thing is, I’ve been a computer nerd my entire life, and a command line person. I believe many people are “trained” to think the GUI == The Machine.

It’s healthy to escape outside your comfort zone for a while. For the record, I’m a big Cisco guy, and much of the power of their equipment is on the command line. Sure the GUIs are getting better, and are nice and fun to use, but you never know when you’ll need to drive that manual transmission in an emergency.

I think I could fake it.
