Guide to CMus - Music Player for Your Terminal
Submitted by Chris7mas on Monday 31st of January 2011 09:54:29 PM Filed under

Although CMus is not the only good player for the shell (alternatives like MOC, Herrie or mp3blaster are also available), I prefer it due to its unique keyboard shortcuts and feature completeness.

Submitted by srlinuxx on Monday 31st of January 2011 08:18:58 PM Filed under
phoronix.com: In November of 2009 we reported that the Reiser4 file-system may go into the mainline Linux kernel in late 2010. We're now into 2011 with the merge window having closed earlier this month for the Linux 2.6.38 kernel and there's no sign of this open-source file-system designed to succeed the popular ReiserFS.
