One of the Window Managers that stands out the most in the Linux world, is the Enlightenment Manager. Many refer to is as the E desktop, because typing out the whole word can take some time.

I remember using this window manager back in the ’90s and was very impressed by the eye-candy and functionality that came with it. Although Enlightenment didn’t catch on as much as KDE or Gnome, many Linux users use the term, a terminal originally built for the Enlightenment desktop, to spice up their computers. Eterm had extra features such as transparent background, that many users found enjoyable.

You’ve downloaded and installed Linux, but now you realize that you can’t play movies on it! In some countries playing DVD files through DeCSS is illegal, so in many cases, Linux distributions choose not to let you watch DVD’s right out of the box.

As well, you’ll notice that your favorite codec might not be installed on a fresh distro. This article will show you how to not only get your DVD player working in Ubuntu but also how to get your favorite codecs. Did you know that it’s possible to watch windows media files in Linux? iPod videos that are encoded in h264 can also be viewed and encoded. Let’s get started on making your Linux distribution a Movie machine.

One of the major things that people request here on Pimp your Linux is for better fonts on Linux. I’ve done some research on the subject, and it is quite possible to make your Linux Desktop look great, even if you have a flat panel monitor.

To start off, you might have noticed that in Linux, your favorite Microsoft fonts might not be installed. For example, I know that when I was going to school, I would always use “Times New Roman” for my documents.
