LinuxNews.com is running a story about Kugar, a reporting app we mentioned earlier.

Browsing the kde-announce mailing list archive, I found an announcement for the release of Kaptain, a universal graphical front-end for command line programs. I didn't understand very well what could be the use for such a program, but I was curious, and so I surfed to the project's homepage. And what I discovered was a little utility that can help you quickly develop a user interface to launch a command that would otherwise be long to type and hard to remember. Check out this cool example with screenshots (and some more here). I'm now convinced that kaptain can be used to significantly improve a newbie's experience with Unix. Read More
