appendices more information To be productive in your new workspace, you will need a few more packages. For a simple word processor, spreadsheet and viewer, install Abiword, Gnumeric and Evince. d$ sudo su Password: d# apt-get install abiword gnumeric evince The default appearance of Abiword and Evince is rather ugly. To improve their appearance, install (and use) the Clearlooks-Phenix theme: d# apt-get install clearlooks-phenix-theme gtk2-engines For fonts that are metrically equivalent to Microsoft fonts (i.e. Times New Roman, Arial) install: d# apt-get install fonts-liberation For a more complete office suite, install LibreOffice: d# apt-get update d# apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-style-crystal libreoffice-help-en-us If you're an economist like me, you will want Emacs, R, standard R packages and wxMaxima:
d# apt-get install emacs ess r-recommended wxmaxima Finally, free some valuable storage space by cleaning out all those DEB packages that you just downloaded, then exit: d# apt-get clean d# exit time zone, language and moreNow that your desktop is ready, it's time to optimize it. If you notice that your time zone is not properly configured (you can check the time and date with the date command), you can correct it by running: d# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata To configure language support, install and configure locales: d# apt-get install locales d# dpkg-reconfigure locales For a nicer prompt (the next time you login): d$ echo "export PS1=\"[ \\\$(date +'%k.%M') \u ] \W $ \"" >> ~/.bashrc And give the root user a nicer prompt too: d# echo "export PS1=\"[ \\\$(date +'%k.%M') \u ] \W # \"" >> ~/.bashrc Copyright © 2014-2022 Eryk Wdowiak |
