Sabayon, KDE, and Evolution

By Michael Altfield, on May 10th, 2009

I recently reformatted my hard drive--switching from pure Gentoo to the Sabayon fork. Sabayon did for Gentoo what Ubuntu did for Debian. It's generally a lot easier to use, but--unlike Ubuntu--it doesn't sacrifice functionality for ease-of-use.

xpdf Supremacy

By Michael Altfield, on December 28th, 2008

In Ubuntu--and most gnome-based linux distributions, for that matter--the default PDF viewer is Evince Document Viewer. However, a much better alternative PDF viewer exists: xpdf

In my experience, xpdf uses only about 5% as much RAM as evince!
