Hi, I finally got my Gentoo working and online, running Xwindows. Now I need some cool apps.

Anyone know and cool apps to install? The Sci-Astronomy category looks cool!!

My specs are kinda low, P2-300 with 196 MB Ram, 10 Gig harddrive.

Thanks.

On a lower-end system, it might be important to watch those resources. You might give a look at something like karamba/superkaramba (their size is here) if you run KDE or perhaps gdesklets for gnome.

on that system you suggest (super)karamba? i would not even touch kde/gnome...

install, at best, torsmo, if you want a monitoring tool. also install a light wm, fvwm or so. the rest depends on what you want to do on your system.

well... I for one think ssh, vim, screen, keychain, and htop are cool

Thanks, I'll get most of the tools. How about actual applications?

I'm especially looking for Sci-Astronomy apps, since I saw the category. Anything cool?
How about a nice planetarium or something?
