viewglob is a tool to increase the usability of the Unix shell by leveraging the expressiveness of graphical environments. It sits as a layer beneath an xterm and watches your bash or zsh shell activity as you type. An interactive GTK+ display shows the layout of relevant directories and highlights file selections and potential name completions. This 1.0 release makes several stability fixes and adds two useful features: 1. the ability to double click a file or directory in the display and have its name or path sent to the terminal; 2. the ability to type into the display and have your keystrokes entered into the terminal.

When it comes to the corporate customer, desktops are still king, particularly because they're the easiest and least expensive to upgrade with fast, power-hungry components. Yet one researcher predicts it will be five to seven years before only the "die-hard" desktop users are left. Is it time for you to make the switch?

The eagerly-awaited Ubuntu Studio has been released, adding another entry into the expanding list of multimedia-optimized Linux distributions. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but interested readers can peruse some installation screenshots or check out the latest news and information on the Ubuntu Studio Wiki. I plan to review the distro in a future column, along with an update on the latest version of the venerable PlanetCCRMA, but in this entry I'm focused on another very exciting new release. Ardour 2.0 is now available for download. This version is a significant improvement over the 0.99 series (1.0 was never released), with many new features and enhancements to performance and stability. The following article profiles the new Ardour as I employed it for three projects, all involving the program in the processes of composition and arranging as well as the more typical tasks of recording and editing. I've described each project in some detail, and each description includes a link to the final audio output.
