Ubuntu-US-NM Linux tools to survive in Windows World






Just thought I would share a couple tools that I use daily to survive in
a Windows based network.  I'd love to hear what Linux apps everyone else
uses daily...not necessarily for Windows. 

If you VNC or RDP to servers as much as I do this tool is a godsend.
It's pre-configured with may of the rdesktop options (i.e. Copy and
Paste between your linux machine and Windows).

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnome-rdp

If you need to have a linux machine (Server or Workstation) participate
in a Windows AD authentication.

http://sadms.sourceforge.net/

If you have a Web App that only runs via Internet Explorer

Need to access Exchange Server with full functionality (i.e. Calender,
Contacts, etc.)

http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/

Of Course in the event that you need to do Windows Dev work or just need
to run a full version of Windows or a couple of OS's.

If you are like me and have Citrix in your environment there is a Citrix
Client for Linux.

To remember all the passwords that I need to keep track of KeePassX is
awesome.  As there are Linux, Windows, and mobile versions.

Linux:

http://keepassx.sourceforge.net/

Others:

To sync my data between my laptop and servers I use Conduit.

Not really for Windows but a handy tool if you have a ton of Linux,
Unix, or Cisco devices that you ssh to.
