One area that I have always found lacking on Linux is a good Dictionary software. I have tired quite a few free and 
opensource dictionary software for linux, some very good, but non had the WOW factor to keep me using them again and again. Well that was until I stumbled (no pun intended) on Artha (yeah I know free software apps and their funny names 
)

Saturday, February 27th, 2010My Smooth fonts setup for Kubuntu Karmic
Saturday, January 16th, 2010The first thing which put me off after logging in to the kubuntu (9.10) desktop for the first time was the fonts. They are two problems I have with the default Kubuntu fonts (Well the first one is not much of a problem but personal taste.)
