"Worker" for Linux. DOpus rip off
« on: July 12, 2004, 04:47:39 AM »
I don't know if anyone here cares but I just installed a package called "worker" on my Linux machine. I haven't tooled with it much yet but it pays a ton of homage to classic DOpus ala v.4.x. It seems to work and looks to be just as configurable. Anyone use this product? It seems promising and I feel more at home using it over the likes of Midnight Commander. If anyone cares I can provide a link to it.

I figured I might as well throw up the home page.

Yeah I guess the title was a bit harsh - I didn't really mean it as a poke. I really messed around with Worker through the night and it really is great. And yes, I see it as no surprize that DOpus have been sorta "ported" to the likes on Linux. Heck! I think its great.

Has anyone ever checked out AmiWM? Its the linux windows manager that has an amiga feel. The I'm sure its inferior to the likes of Gnome or KDE... but its very amiga like.

KennyR:

You've peaked my intrest. I honestly thought that DOpus was an original concept with the 2panel manager. Where was the idea first introduced? Unix?
