These days most things understand xterm emulation so you don't need others unless you are connecting to something very old. Generally you just open a local terminal window (gnome-terminal is under Applications/Accessories/Terminal but xterm or kconsole work as well), then ssh to another machine. If you have a normal login at the remote end, you can set up ssh keys so you don't need a password. However, if you would prefer to run a GUI program at the remote machine you can just use ssh to start it directly with the window opening locally instead of using a text mode terminal at all. > Secondly on windows I use desktop post it notes can you suggest anything > that would be similar.

Right-mouse on your top gnome panel, click add-to-panel, then pick tomboy-notes from the menu. But if you want something more like a to-do list, look at the tasks and memos sections of Evolution. > I am also interested in a clipboard extender, something that will keep > track of my previous things sent to the clipboard, on windows I used to > use clipmate. Not sure about this - I usually just leave the source window open for as long as I might want anything on it. Or, if it is a shell command I've typed I recall it from shell history. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
