KTools: Kdict | 80

If you need a definition and you don't want to stop to look for a dictionary, why not try the KDE dictionary tool Kdict? Type in a word and Kdict searches online sources for a definition. Or you can set up your own dictionary files for a faster local search.

DeskTOPia: skippy | 82

The skippy screen pager does what all the other pagers do, plus it offers a graphical preview feature to remind you of what's behind the window. We'll show you how to install and use skippy.

KWiFiManager | 84

You can use KWiFiManager to find a wireless network, then you can use it to establish a connection. You can even pre-configure the wireless connections you think you'll use again.

Command Line: sort | 87

If you're looking for a quick sort, you don't need to look farther than the command line. But sort does more than just organize lines by first letter. We'll show you how to sort by column and character position.
