Linux Saloon 39: Terminal Application Extravaganza

Linux Saloon is a place to discuss tech, open source and where Linux is always on Tap.

This week was a terminal application extravaganza. The panel brought forth terminal applications they use and enjoy to share with others. Several of these were certainly life enhancements or at least great for entertainment. We also derailed into a topic about directory structures, whether they are even necessary anymore.

There are quite a few bloopers in this episode that were tacked onto the end of the show. They are good for a chuckle.
