Nemo has established itself as one such noteworthy option within the Linux community due to its rich history and feature-packed design. Originally created by the developers behind Cinnamon desktop environment (a popular alternative interface for Linux), Nemo was initially introduced as their default file manager.

One notable aspect of Nemo is its dedication towards enhancing user experience while maintaining efficiency. It accomplishes this through an intuitive layout combined with various productivity-enhancing features – all aimed at making navigating through your files effortless.

c. Dual Pane View: For power users or those seeking enhanced productivity, Nemo provides a dual pane view option. This feature divides the file manager into two panes vertically or horizontally, enabling seamless copying and moving between folders with just drag-and-drop actions.

d. Integrated Terminal Emulator: With an integrated terminal emulator within the file manager itself, executing commands becomes more convenient than ever before! Say goodbye to switching back and forth between applications; everything you need is right at your fingertips.

e. Preview Panel: The preview panel feature allows quick glances at files without actually opening them fully – saving time when searching for specific items or verifying content. Supported file types include images, videos, documents, and more.

f. Advanced Search: Nemo provides a powerful search functionality that helps users find their files quickly and efficiently. With options to refine searches based on criteria like name, size, date modified, or even specific content within files (such as text), locating desired items becomes a breeze.

g. Plugins and Extensions: Nemo supports various plugins and extensions to expand its capabilities further. Whether you need additional context menu options or integration with cloud services such as Dropbox or Google Drive – there's likely a plugin available to fulfill your requirements.

As an open-source project born out of the Linux ecosystem, Nemo thrives on community support and development contributions from enthusiastic individuals worldwide. The collaborative nature ensures constant improvements while keeping pace with evolving technologies in the digital realm.

Anyways, as some of you may know, I am the Chairperson of the Geographic Naming Committee in our Ward (23) at Thembisile Municipality. Actually we don't only do street names, we name other places too. A friend reminded me that with great power comes great responsibility. What has this have to do with Open Source? A friend (Eric Mabena) suggested we name some of the streets after Open Source Projects in order to raise awareness on Open Source Software. We have reached out to the community but not all of it, we still need to do some more selling to this idea but the Committee is on board. We must also look into legality around using trademarked names, Firefox and Red Hat for example. Some of the Street Names suggestions that came out from different people we spoke to that we liked and shortlisted are: 1. Li...

In today's digital age, it is hard to imagine a world without servers. Servers are an integral part of the technology ecosystem and are responsible for storing data, running applications and facilitating communication between devices. What many people may not realize is that most servers use open source software. Open source refers to software that is free to use, modify and distribute. It allows users access to the underlying code which they can then customize as per their needs. The benefits of using open source software in server environments are numerous: Cost-effectiveness: One of the primary advantages of open-source solutions like Linux operating systems or Apache web server is its cost-effective nature. Without any upfront costs associated with licensing fees or vendor lock-in requirements, organizations can easily implement these solutions on top-quality hardware at relatively minimal expense compared to proprietary alternatives. Flexibility: Since anyone has access to the...
